Small Plecos

Does anyone know if their are plecos that would be able to live out its life in a 10g? I think bristlenoses are small but I'm not sure.

 

Yeah bristlenoses only get to four or five inches but I think they're still poop machines :lol:

The only other I can think of is the rubber pleco (I think that's it's name) or it might be the bulldog pleco..... :roll:

 

A common.. :lol: why dont ya get a few otos?

 

I really don't think there's any pleco small enough to live in a 10 gallon. Yes, bristlenoses stay small, but they produce an awful lot of waste for their size. I agree with MWM about otos. They're great little catfish, do a good job of keeping the tank algae free, and only get 2". But if you get more than 1, you might have to suppliment their diet (ie give them alage waffers & veggies rather than just letting them survive on the algae they find).

I coudltn find my oto for like 2 or 3 weeks i thought he died but I see him now! he disappeared for a long time. I feed my pleco and my Oto Cucumber(im not sure if oto is eating the cucbumer) but hes still around :wink:

 

i have a book about aqurium fishes and there is a type of pleco hat gets to be 2" midget suckerfish (i think thats wht=at they are called) get to be 1". thwe book also says that my pleco, not the ordinary pleco gets to be 20"!
