Pleco advice (lemm.ee)
submitted 1 year ago by Neuron@lemm.ee to c/aquariums@lemmy.world

Hi everyone! I have a 40 gallon breeder planted tank. Currently it has cardinal tetra, rummy nose tetra, peppered cordyora, a honey gourami, and innumerable blue cherry shrimp. There is tons of driftwood in the tank, and I think a pleco would fit in well. I'm kind of overwhelmed by all the different subspecies and varieties, wondered if anyone had some (smaller) plecos they've particularly liked and would recommend. And also best places to order them online, unfortunately our main lfs in the area closed and so it's pretty much down to petsmart and petco for local choices.

Yeah some zebras would be nice, but if you can't or won't pay that much, you can go for longfin bristlenose. I'd go with black, I have both black and albino, and the black one is the boss of the tank.
