I'm trying to find a pleco for my tank. Firstly it has to be small enough for a rio 180. Secondly it has to look good and finally it has to be not too expensive. It may be a tall order but I am hoping that you can help me.

zebra plecs are not recomended for community tanks as they dont compete for food very well
they are best kept on their own |
