Pleco suggestions please

[CrazyLegz]

So I have a 40 gallon breeder in need of a pleco...n my other tanks I have a royal pleco which does nothing as far as I can see so no royal...I have a bristlenose pleco which is a work horse n I love that but he doesn't get big enough for my likings...is there a pleco as nice as the royal that works just as hard as my bristlenose???

Honestly he doesn't touch the wood I have in there for him, he stays all over the coconuts I have n there and my uv sterilizer...

What kind of wood is in there?

 

[CrazyLegz]

Regular driftwood which seems to lower my ph more than I like it to

A 40 gal tank is not big enough for the larger plecos. Don't expect much from plecos, except have them look interesting...when you can see them. Bristlenose-size is about right for a 40 gal. If you want a cool looking pleco that won't be too expensive, try L134 -Leopard Frog. Good luck. Dan
