Type of small pleco.?

Question

are there any kind of pleco that is the size of a zebra pleco?

(3.5in)If so what are they and dont tell me any type of cory.

Answer 1

There is a plecotamus called a Dwarf Plecotamus, it doesn't grow nearly as long as the normal plecos, " i want to say like 4 inches long" but they're really hard to find in petstores and online stores. You may want to ask your local fish supplier if they can specially order one for you. Otherwise if you need a small algae eater, get a True Simese Algae eater, and stay as far away as possible from Chinese Algae eaters.

Answer 2

Clown Plecos only get to about 4" full size and are very hardy and usually very easy to come by in most pet shops.  One thing to remember with them is that you do require driftwood in your tank for them to survive.  They will eat algae to an extent, but are mainly wood eaters.

Answer 3

Parotocinclus jumbo they get to about 2.5-3"

Answer 5

Well, Bristlenose plecos get about 5 inches long and would do fine with your zebra danios!

Yup... many species of pleco only reach that size.

Queen Arabesque Pleco  L260

Common Bristlenose may get a little bigger 4-6" max.

There are dozens more, but those are some you may actually find in pet shops.
