im looking for a pleco that will be compatible with my 15 gallon planted tank.

tank stats:

Heavily planted! with Eco complete substrate ( gravel )

15 gallon - 24 X 12 X 12''
lighting 65 watt 6700K (lots of light, the pleco must be comfortable with this!)

AC 20 and an air stone

tnakmates:

12 cardinals and 5 small corys.

what pleco should i get, if any?

thanks

IMO you"re tank is full without the pleco

I totally agree. If you're looking for someone to eat algae, try snails. You don't want to create a problem tank by adding such a huge bioload. Also, I have a problem in my planted tank (the 125 community) with the pleco tearing up the plants. They can't help it -- they're just so strong.
