Hey folks, I just upgraded my 10 gallon to a 20 gallon long. I have 2 black skirted tetra, and 3 albino cory cats.. I was looking at a bristlenose pleco, but they get 5 inches which might be too big? I am open to suggestions, and would be willing to pay a nice amount for a cool fancy pleco. Are there any that are small and don't mind being the only plec in the tank? any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks,
Sandman

I found my old list (I have been wanting a fancy pleco for a while... so here it goes..
L015 candy striped pleco
L163 Big Spot Peckoltia
L080 Tocantins tiger
L 134 Leopard frog pleco.
These are whats availible for me to order... I'll research them again, but if anyone has a preference for my setup feel free to chime in.

Hi mate if you got the money Zebar (L046) grows to 4inchs.
Also (L004) it has small white spots grows to 4inchs as well.
It is nice pleco and a lot less money.
I don't know If they would be ok on there own ?
Good luck

I agree with Matt30. Out of the list you posted, I, myself, would go with the 134. I have a colony of 5 x L260 and another colony of 7 x L340 (the smaller version) in 20L tanks, and they are just fine. Good luck.
