Smaller Plecos?

[Tarobot]

I was wonder if are any species of plecos that grow to around 4" max, i want maybe one or two to clean up an 80g that will house some 4" crayfish. i figured otos were too small and common ones get way too big. Was hope someone could suggest a few types that grow to around 4~5" max. thanks in advance.

The common Bristlenose variations are affordable (lots of local breeders) and come in Silvertip, Calico and albino varieties. If you want them to eat meatier foods left by crays (as long as the crays don't eat the plecos first) then Hypans are a good bet, but they are costlier. L129, L340, L333, L201, etc. are great for cleaning up meatier foods. I'm sure Charles will other suggestions.

for clean up, you can't beat bristlenose. If you are not into breeding, just a single adult will do. Min. waste it will produce and enough to clean algae.

thanks thanks, no i dont think the marbled crays are that aggressive, im guessing youve got them charles?

I have 1 adult male if you want it. $10 about 3.5".

nope, just a regular silvertipped one.
