Hey, leggo my pleco!

If anyone bothered to check the link that SM provided, the fish in question is a Peckoltia pulcher. Monga lists a max size of about 3" and temperment as peaceful. Without knowing anytihng about your tank or other inhabitants, this seems like a fine fish for the average friendly community tank over 20 gallons.

Actually, I DID bother to check out that link.....It lists several different plecos, so I had absolutely no idea which one SD is talking about. ;)

I followed the link and saw everything from Bristlenose to oto to common and sailfin plecos - thought it would be best to post with specific fish I thought would work :)
 
I suggest a rubberlip (or rubbernose, as i once saw them listed as), they have rad personality and should be happy in a 29 or 30 g.
by the way sm, cute avatar!!!!
 
Like before, I have the garden-variety dk. murky brown pl*co in my tank. To date he is still but a babe...a whole 2"....if it is true, that is, about his growth pattern - well, he's going back.

Darn that PETCO - I'll have to go check out my local aquarium specialis stores.

SML.

Yes, there are many fish on that page, but the "#Peckoltia%20pulcher" in the hyperlink should send you right to that one inparticular.

Perhaps it should...but no where (in either this thread or the other thread SD started) does SD mention that particular pleco. We're given a link that lists many, many different plecos and no specifics..... ;)

I think that's a good choice - there are lots of fun, small pleco-like cats to choose from that will be happy in a smaller tank for their entire lifespan. :)
 
A bristlenose or clown pleco would be fine. No one needs a comon pleco, they should stop selling them so frequently. Plecos do have their downside. They are messy and they all eat plants to different degrees. The bristlenose and clown pleco stay small but they will hide most of the time. true siamese algae eaters and otos are more fun to watch and are harmless to plants.
