Thanks

no pleco will do well in a 10 gallon, however take a look at the Otocinclus Catfish

Amen to that. My pleco just pooped a lot and refused to eat algae. Otos eat even diatoms.

Im asking because I have a bn pleco, I heard they only grow to be 5 inches, I feed him algae wafers

 

[armymp327]

they only grow to 5 inches yes, which is to big for a 10 gallon tank, they also produce the same bio-load has a fish 3x its size imo.

Yea, I have 2 10 gallon filters in there, live plans to help filter the ammonia, and I do 40%water changes

My BN pleco is 9 inches, and poops tons. I'd. just trade him out for some ottos. I'd do the same if I wasn't so attached for the old guy. He was in a tank with a freshwater ray. It was crazy.

9 inches! Are you sure it was a bn pleco! Man! Well if he gets that big I can just put him in my 55 gallon, I'm just wondering if he will be good in a 10 gallon?

Mine is also 28 years old (roughly. We don't know for sure. He's had a lot of different owners).

EDIT: also, I'm pretty sure a BN pleco is the only pleco with gigantic bushy barbel type things on their faces.

Wow, that's pretty cool, ope mine lives that long

I think 15 years is the normal life span.
