Bristlenose Pleco Reviews?

I'd recommend getting the smallest one you can. That way, he'll grow up with the kids there and be less likely to hide from them when he's full grown.

Well, its in a high school main lobby meeting room. My local store had only tiny bristlenose, probably 1/2 an inch. He'd definetly get either lost in the tank or get immediately eaten by the giant danios. I ended up getting a Rubber Pleco, which I was told grows to a similar size and has very similar behavior. They were closer to 2 in in stock, so I think he'll do much better. Any experience with Rubber Plecos? I did some research and found that they do reach a similar 4-5-6 in max.
