Hi How big of a tank do you think I would need for these fish

1 Common Pleco 20-24" (Given to me for free by Timmain)
1 Gibbiceps 18"
1 Albino Gibbicep 18"
1 Rhino Pleco 12-13"
1 L-001 9-10"

and maybe a oscar or two to patrole the rest of the tank or my Jag just have to put alot of hiding places. Not actually going to do this combo just wondering how big of a tank it would need???
The sizes given are there max size when full grown my common is 13-15" right now.

I would argue that a common gets above 18", but the gibbiceps should top 20". Lessee, all of those guys would do ok in a 75 with MASSIVE filtration, just because they're none to active. You'd need a helluva lotta caves for everyone, with alot of driftwood. Plus an oscar? 125 minimum. Again we're talking 3+ canister filters here. Man, you'd be going through algae tabs like they were popcorn.

No just wondering or maybe just some tetras so theres other movement going on and take of the oscars. Just curious. Thats what I though the size for a common was 18" but saw in other post they put 24" so just put that just in case.

I wouldn't go under a 150gal for all those since some are territorial not going to do it though unless I really have the space and money and time to do a tank like that.
