The topic says it all really,
but tank size 48 x 15 x 12 ~30 gall
fish in it are neons dwarf gouramis, cories and a molly.
Any suggestions, or can i only really have bristlenose plecs, i really like gold nuggets
 
OK Gold Nuggets can get quite big........but there are lots of fancy pleco's that dont.........

Here are some examples..................
King Tiger Pleco......very nice.....about £25 ish and gets to around 4" or so
Chocolate Zebra Pleco.......stunning..........£25 ish ........and about 4" again
Vampire Pleco......£20ish ......nice........5"ish give or take
and of course the KING.....Zebra Plco or Emperor Pleco.....£45-£65 .......3" max.......the most sought after and highly prized Pleco on the market!!!!!!!

Go here and have a look m8 its full of info and pics etc

www.planetcatfish.com

Hope this helps and happy hunting :D
 
most of the peckoltia side of the pleco family stay small (below 5") also try searching some of the catfish sites on the web! you will be amazed just how many different pleco there are,the L seems to grow weekly! :grin:
 
Zebra plecs are great fish and highly attractive but they can be a little expensive between 30 -40 pound depending on the size. These stay pretty small compared to other species of plec. :D
 
If you like Golden Nuggets go to one of the online sites that specialise in Catfish. By my understanding there are three types of GN Plec's one grows to between 6" and 8". But do check the L Number so you get the right one.
 
My favorite and a VERY hard worker is the clown pleco. Not necesseraly the most pretty, but I like him and he stays small.

also have a look around your lfs for the queen arabesque pleco(L260)its a very nice colourful litle pleco, which stays small 90mm (3.6")
this also is a good pleco in a comunity tank,but can be quite terrortorial,in my lfs they cost around £20/£25 :)
