Which Plec/catfish/algae Eater

[Kizz]

Decided long and hard about getting one of these ..Didnt really want one as i've seen how big of them can get and what mess the can make in a tank moving things etc

Then i found out that they do smaller ones

Just can't seem to decide which one to get and which ones will be compatible with the rest of the fish

At present i have

Red wags danios 2 male gourami's (1 going shortly ) 2 paradise fish ,Neons (around 2cm) cory's 2 mollies & 3 Clown Loaches

They're all in a Juwul Trigon 190l got a few good hiding spots and plenty of room down the bottom

Can anyone advise me on the best kind Prefferably under 10" 25-26cm

BN, bristlenose plecs only get to 4 or so inches, and love algae. three of four would be fine. though they may well breed. the L200 green phantom is a good algae eater, i am told, and one beautiful fish too.

Don't know if interested, but just Googled real fast for this in case:

http/www.planetcatfish.com/catelog/show_sizes.php

(Changed their set-up since I last looked, unless the better one's around somewhere else - but this is different than I recall and has less info; might want to poke around a bit.
Always assuming I'm thinking of the right site...)

But there are lots of cool, smaller plecs, if you can find, keep, and afford them...

I have a little female Bristle nose. She is the best. They only get about 4-5inches and Love to work. This little girl always on the move unlike my lazy Clown pleco. Clown plecos are beautiful but very shy and do not eat algae but I still love her. Also the Rubber nose aka bulldog plecos are good at cleaning and get to be about 5-6 inches. Then there is the Pit Bull pleco. I think they are so cute I have only seen them once in real life. I went back to get one the next day GONE. The store never got any other ones in I was bummed. The pit bulls only get 2-3 inches they like to be in little schools are from what I hear Love to work.

I would recommend the bristle nose I just love mine.
