Rubberlip vs. Bristlenose

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I've decided that I finally want a pleco. After keeping other catfish for so long it's going to be nice to have this old favorite. It'll be going into a 40 gallon (some tiger barbs but other than that nothing). Now I know that with a tank that size I can't keep any of the more elaborate and large plecos (panaques, zebras, etc.). This is going to be like a side purchase so I don't want to spend that much money on it. There are some nice longfin bristlenoses but some really eye-catching rubberlips that I am really torn between. At this point my decision will be based on waste production because I really can't decide by looks. Which one poops more?
 
The ancistrus being larger will produce more waste.
