I'm looking for a species guide (online website) about this wonderful dwarf species. Wanna research more before buying them up with planning. Guys.......experienced masters.......kindly help me out here.

Thanks

Which species do you mean...there are many that could be considered as a Dwarf Pleco.
Do you mean a particular species or a general guide for small species?

A very good guide is the knowledgeable people on this site.

I've seen listed as dwarf pleco in some places. Is that what you mean?

If you want a list of which species grow to a certain size, you can use the Cat-eLog search feature: http://www.planetcatfish.com/catelog/search.php.

Enter family of Loricariidae, and then the size-range you'd like to see. Note that some have "unknown size", which is indicated with a zero length, so if you set the minimum length to 1mm (or 0.5"), you will not get "Unknown size" species.

Just a series guide for the dwarf variant. Plecos can grow pretty big. I would like to know more about those plecos which will only grow to prolly up to 3 inches...Thanks guys for your suggestions.

Birger - That's the reason I posted here. Ppl guide is faster.

bslindgren - Not a particular species but all the dwarf variant available.

Matsp - Thanks fot the tip. Will try it out.

I have to suggest a favorite of mine now, and definitely can be considered a dwarf species

I really recommend using the Cat-eLog. There are also some interesting articles in the Catfish of the Month (CotM) and Shane's world - linked from the respective species where relevant, but it may be easier to look at the CotM and Shane's world to find them if it's not a particular species you are interested in.

Since there are probably around a dozen genus that matches your criteria, it's quite a task to describe all the small species of Pleco in one article.

However, I like the idea of having a quick summary of the ones that don't grow too large, and perhaps a few recommendations.

By the way, I'm not sure I like the term "dwarf", as that implies species that should grow large, but doesn't, rather than species that naturally don't grow large - I mean human dwarfs are still humans (and may even give birth to full size children even if both parents are dwarfs).
