Hello everyone! So this is kind of the opposite of the spirit of the website, but I was wondering what would be a good pleco to keep in a 20g? Right now I just use it to keep some guppies (it's my "pretty" tank), I figured I can add a little colorful bottom dweller to go with them. The tank is an unheated tank so the temp is staying at about room temperature (67-70), so unfortunately according to Google that eliminates the pretty Zebras :'( .

What are some good options?

Thanks in advance for the help!

clown plecos or maybe a pair or 1 bristlenose.

Is there a specific bristlenose breed I should look for? I saw that some get to 7" and I think that might be too big for the 20g. Clown Pleco is a good idea, those are really cool and to top it off I put Blue sand so they'll stick out!

Clown plecos are very cool. depends on care for the bristlenose and the gender, if I remember correctly the males are smaller.

White spot dwarf plecos stay quite small, but are a little rare.
You could also look into otos or hillstream loaches. Smaller and do a similar job.
