What Pleco For My Tank?

[Phoenixbaby]

Hey guys

I have a 15 gallon tank, with a few female bettas in, not cluttered

what i want to know is, what pleco can i buy to go in there?

any ideas greatly appreciated

I'd go with ottos with a tank that small.

i dont want ottos, and its not THAT small lol

i was told i cud have a clown pleco, but i really like the rubber lip pleco

Ok, so it's not that small. One rubber lip should be fine, just keep up with water changes. Another species to look at are the pitbull plecos, which only get 2".

yeah i saw those at my lfs, ugly lil buggers lol

ok, so what is the maximum size of a pleco that i can have? as i sed ive only got female betta's n thats it

i really want another L128, 7inches is them fully grown i believe?

i just dont want to get a pleco that will outgrow my tank

what are the dimensions LxWxH, as this will help decide

 

[Phoenixbaby]

lol gimme an hour am at my mums atm, will be home soon and then i'll tell ya

its a jewel rekord 70 if that helps lol

61cm x 46cm x 31cm

25" x 18" x 13"



I'd say you could easily have upto a 7" plec in there, but that's pushing it a bit.

Edit: your tank is closer to 25gal, not 15!

70 litres is 15gallons lol

ok so its 87 litres my bad

19gallons imperial
23 US gallons

soooo can i have a flash pleco?

 

[Esfa]

soooo can i have a flash pleco?

yeh.

 

[Phoenixbaby]

really awww yay

i had 2 agesss ago, 1st one i had for ages, he got to about 6inches, and then sadly my rams got ich, and i treated the tank, within half hour he had died (no i didnt overdose my tank)

and the 2nd fella, he was a baby, and my shark ripped off his fins, needless to say the shark got taken out

i just love flash plecos, and i want another yay

The Rekord 70 hold about 75L not 87. As for a Pleco any of these will fit Flash, King Tiger, Clown, Bristlnose, Queen Arabesque, Leopard Frog and Candy Striped just to name a few.
