Yeah the Bristlenose is only about 3 inches long too. It does stink pretty badly when I vacuum the gravel but I keep up with it so there have never been problems. Either way, I start a new job in a couple of months and I'm not killing those little fish trying to move them a long distance. Pretty much everything but the pleco and the betta are going to be getting adopted. I have a few friends that I know will take good care of them
