Yes you could put a Pleco in a 20 gallon tank. Look for a Bristle Nose or a Rubber Lip. They get to be about 5 inches.

how about an albino chocolate pleco? i seen one today that was sweet, but i will look into the pleco. i think im going to put the algae eater by itself because i heard it will actually eat my fishes goo.
yeah the CAE will try to get ur fish and my bro has one in his 20 right now. i believe they get failry big too. so mayb in a lil while upgrade him to a bigger tank
yea, i think so. i wouldn't go with the rubber lip as i have one and it bothers my fish sometimes (a. cichlids). the bristle nose are fine from what i've experienced with them.how about an albino chocolate pleco? i seen one today that was sweet, but i will look into the pleco. i think im going to put the algae eater by itself because i heard it will actually eat my fishes goo.
ok i will definitley look out for a bristlenose in about a month or so. i heard they can starve to death in new tanks so that isnt good. i might setup my 55 gallon for so africans or something. i was also thinking about keeping about 3-5 cories instead of a pleco or can i get the bristlenose too? i will be keeping guppies and danios and some other small community fish. but mostly guppies. i will get 3 different kinds of male guppies (different breeds) and like 10 females 
In a new tank use algae tabs to ensure your bristlenose has something to eat (doesnt starve to death)
i was planning on buying a small bottle of algae tabs anyways and feed once a week. but im not going to buy a pleco until the tank is fully cycled and i have a few feedings and stuff so there will be stuff on the bottom . im planning on buying around 13 fancy guppies. btw if the ac 50 isnt enough filtration should i add a ac mini (20 i think). i cant wait until i get a job so i can get a 125 gallon tank and get me a big pleco like my old one. i used to have one that was 8 years old that my uncle had with the tank. he was my buddy lol his name was monster
