Hi.

Currently have a 10 gallon. Thinking of chopping and changing my desk and buying a 30 gallon tank that is 36 inches long, 15 inches high and 12 inches deep.

Would a candy striped pleco be okay in that size of tank?

I seen on a website they grow 10cm max and stated a minumum tank size of 30 gallons, but as you know....many sites, many different opinions.

Also what other plecos are there available that grow that size....please dont refer me to that page with list, because half the places/websites i cant get them. My LFS's only sell common plecos. Tropical fish 4 U has a few but only one im interested in is the candy striped off there. Does anyone have any other websites that plecos can be bought from (UK please).

Thanks
Maxta

Whats it called? I wouldnt mind but i think it would be too far of a journey for the pleco.

What ones does he have? Does he have a website?
