do i have room?

[bnpleco]

so i have a 20 gallon long tank that is prettily heavily planted with drift wood. i fell in love with a female L134 pleco that would go with my L134 male and albino brisletnose female (my only 2 fish in the tank) i had them hold her until tomorrow. i was wondering if i would have enough room for her and my 2 other plecos if i continue to do a 30 % wc weekly and not get another fish.

I'd do it.. Just the three? Lots if filtration??

 

[bnpleco]

Yeah lots of filtration and I care for them well

 

[Brookster123]

Do it.. Full grown could get crowded but I'm sure their will be more tanks by than

 

[bnpleco]

Yeah my l134 has maxed out at 2.75 inches and my bristle has at a little over 3 inches

 

[Brookster123]

Really? That's great If that is in fact the max size! I was told 3-4" like a bn by my Lfs..

 

[bnpleco]

Me too, but my Bn hasn't grown in 2 years sooo

 

[bnpleco]

I am still contemplating what pleco I want to get, I love those orange seem plecos. They get about 3 inches too

 

[Khuligirl93]

Strange- my female BN was about 6 inches long!

 

[Cynic]

My bristlenoses are 6" and 4" so that 3" suggestion is just incorrect

 

[Khuligirl93]

They can become stunted if kept in a tank that's too small though.

 

[Brookster123]

L-134 is not a bn, I was just told they max out similar to a bn, maybe they're different from my Lfs breeder? I got a full grown adult f bn that was only 4"?? Took it back after a couple months though so I guess I wouldn't really know..
