looking for a new pleco

Post by UGLY_GURL »

im looking for a pleco that will eat some algea and stay sort of small (its going have to live in a 29 gal and im not upgrading any time soon) i dont have any big aggressive fish, just basic tetras, some cories, etc. any suggestions are welcome! thanx!
How was i supposed to know the pleco would grow from 1 inch to 7 inches in a year?

A small group of Otocinclus would fit the bill.
Bristlenoses might also work, although I think otos would be more esthetically pleasing with what you have.
