which fish is better for my tank

[braders]

hey everyone.

I have got a new tank ready for fish (24inch/15gallon).

i am going to have quite a few plants in it and a piece of wood and rock.

and i am going to need a good fish to keep the algae at bay and i need to know how many of a certain species i should have.

i had suggestions of.
ottos
pitball pleco
flying foxes.

i'm goin to have dwarf gouramis in the tank and corys. becaue some algae eaters like sucking the body of big fish.

thanks v.much.

I would say either the pitbull pleco or the otos. I don't know much about the pleco but I would say not a flying fox.

They get too large for a 24" tank because they are fast - about 6 inches and are territorial as well.

i would go with 3 maybe 4 otos, they are so adorable, like a tiny little plec

 

[petitericeball]

SAE
rubber lipped placo
CAE
bristlenose pleco
oto
pitbull pleco

i think
clown pleco
royal pleco
queen armodosk or watever plco

in a tank that small about the only thing I'd consider is the otto. and they won't suck on other fish.

Not a good idea. They should not go in anything less than 18" and should really be allocated 10galls each.

petitericeball - I would not recommend anything other than an oto in that size of tank otherwise the bioload will be severly taken up by the amount of waste a plec produces.

Also, it's Queen Arabesque () and Royal Plecs L190s get to 14".

very cool AND clean well AND the dont get very big... but if you get get that i say the pleco

 

[kittybug]

i saw some rubberlipped pleco at the lfs yesterday. they are cute little guys.

clown loaches..they're really active and will add colour to your tank

Did you look at what size the tank is?!!

Clown loaches are not suitable in that tank.

 

[braders]

so if i have 3 ottos, 2 peppered corys then how many pairs of dwarf gouramis would you recomend.
