clown for a 20

[aquariumlover10]

Can i put a clown pleco in a 20 gallon long with 1-2 bolivian rams, 1 upside down cat, 2 otocinclus, 3 albino cories.

I would say so because they stay small, the only problem I've had was with my common pleco eating some Otto cats

Ok would the clown eat he ottos and would he be ok in a 10 gallon fo a couple months?

 

[aquariumlover10]

Would i be overstocked?

 

[BLUEaquarium06]

Why are you getting the pleco? Is it to eat algae?

 

[aquariumlover10]

Yea and i really like plecos.

 

[BLUEaquarium06]

Clown plecos are actually very bad algae eaters, they are much more interested in eating driftwood

Ok well i have the otos and i am going to have some driftwood in there.

I have a clown with otos. Right, the clown doesnt do anything but hide, sometimes I find him eating the driftwood. The otos do a much better job of cleaning my tank. If you were close I would be willing to trade or sell my Clown to you. He is still around 2" big, I dont think they get much bigger.

Would i be overstocked?

I would say no, you could get him if you wanted

What should the daily/main diet for the clowns be?
