You might be better asking in the catfish section [URL="http/www.fishforums.net/category/81/Plec...er-Loricariids/"]http/www.fishforums.net/category/81/Plec...er-Loricariids/[/URL] the guys there are great and will help you lots they will need to know your tank measurements and the number of uk or us gallons but I'm sure they will tell you if what you plan is ok or not.

Sorry missed you are on a 70l if you put the measurements as well as some need a longer rather than higher tank.

Personally I'd say another BN at the most in a small tank like that.

IMHO L49

Clown plecos are great and stay small, I have one - lovely markings and only a few quid

 

[PRW1988]

yea but clown plecos aren't functional... Don't get me wrong, I'd never sell mine in a million years!

Well i decided to get a Flash Pleco, just ordered him and he will arrive on Wednesday.

I have a tiny rubber nose/bulldog pleco in my 29 I think they get around 4", he's about 1.5 inches long and stays hidden most of the time until usually afternoon when he's sucking and scrambling away at the glass tank.

Ive always liked golden nugget plecos!!!!!

If you can get hold of them, i would totally recommend a Para pleco (L075)- they have beautiful coloring and stay relatively small but are also quite active for pleco's (they don't make great algae eaters though, they have a slightly more meaty diet than other herbivorous plecos)- here is my one;

Actually andywatson29 i just noticed your tank is a bit on the small side for a lot of types of plecos, what is its measurements (length, width & height) ?

nice colouring on him!

Cheers .

I've got a flash plec, he/she is great. Always at the front of the tank & very beautiful. Is about a year old now & has only got to about 4 inches, so should be OK in your tank if only a couple of other small ie tetra size fish in there. I've also got a baby Zebra, but he cost me an arm & a leg & not nearly as upfront as the flash.

My Flash Pleco arrived today, as is looking stunning
