Plecos

[perez627]

I would like a pleco that is really good at eating algae, but I want one that does not grow too large. Any suggestions?

dwarf bristlenose maxes out at 3 inches and will do a pretty good job on algea
other option is a farlowella cat get abt 8 inches, but are really thin so there mass is not very big so they fit well in small tanks

you will need to feed your pleco it wont do well on just eating the algae

Otocinclus are great little algae eaters...they only grow to 1.5" Bristlenose are also great and grow to about 5"

Otos and BNs. Otos you might find a monster at 2", and BNs around 5-6". They can't live on algae, just to let you know.
