    Default Small Pleco

    Getting everything together to start a plant tank. I would like to get a pleco that is small enough to live comfortably in a 10 gallon tank. Tank mates will be plants, SAE, neon tetras/cardinal tetras(not sure gotta do some reserch) and some shrimp(amano or ghost). Can you give me some ideas?

    Thanks again

    I believe most plecos would be too large for a 10 gallon and with an SAE in there, you're already overstocked. You don't really have a lot of room to play with in a 10 gallon. 10 Neon Tetras maybe and an Otocinlus or 2 maybe, but the SAE is definitely out.

    SAE's get up to around 6" and I wouldn't recommend one in a 10 gal. In my experience they grow fairly quick.
