hi, all!:hi: I was just wondering if my stocking plan is sound. I currently have my betta, blue, in my fully cycled tank and a load of hitchiker snails. I was thinking about adding the tetras now, then the pleco once the algea starts to grow.
this good stocking plan?

Sounds like a plan to me. Just be sure to feed the pleco his veggies often(algae isn't enough in that small a tank).
A pleco in a 10 gallon?!?!? Not a very good idea IMHO...go with otto's. Pleco's grow to 24 inches and are poop factories, otto's stay under 2.5 inches. I have 3 otto's in my 20 gallon planted tank that get's direct sunlight and they do a awesome job of keeping it algae free.
zebra plecos rarely grow over 4 inches, and definetly not that big in a ten gallon. not all plecos are made alike, you know!fishyaddict said:

Sounds good. As long as you keep up with the plecos diet. They won't survive on flakes alone. Hey check out zebra loaches for a sub to the pleco. They grow to about 3 inches and eat snails. Their availability is pretty hard to come by. I'm glad you are researching size of fish now. Enjoy your tank.

First off don't catch an attidude with me, get it, got it, good! Secondly if you had posted zebra pleco instead of just pleco there wouldn't of been any confusion. Have a nice day.

im stuck between getting 1 male bristlenose pleco or 2 female bristlenose pleco, or 3 otto's for my 20 gallon tank. im in the process of cleaning and stocking everything, including plants. any idea what i should get? i would really like their alage eating skills to keep the glass clean.
