I have a 55 gallon with a ornate bichir, senegal bichir, and a silver aro. I've been wanting to get a pleco but not one that gets super huge. Any good recommendations? I want to stay in the 10-60 dollar range. Thanks!
Pleco for a 55 gallon? 1st pleco ever

plecos take a REALLY long time to get big so dont worry about it. i'd say... just get whatever pleco you want to get, i had a 55 for years and my plecos never really got much bigger

In my experience if a pleco is well fed at all it will attain a large size in a short period. I have a common that is 10" that I "rescued" from a woman that had it in a ten gallon with 10 feeder goldfish.

Gold nuggets are extremelly slow growers. http://www.planetcatfish.com/catelog...species_id=154
Edit.... I see it says the size on that website indicates it only gets 7.1" but I read somewhere else they get 14". I'll have to see which one is right.

Commons get huge and fast. Had 2 @ 19" in a 125. When I got them I thought all plecos were the same

.Ok, i just want to find a pleco that will get along with my tankmates and has somewhat of a nice pattern
HeHe. don't let the website fool ya. Mine goes great with my 2 ornates and endlicheris. But if they don't want them around they will let it be known.
