Anyone recommend some Pleco's that stay a reasonable size and don't turn into monsters, I am thinking of getting a few different selections of species but not sure which yet. Any advise guys?

Im the same, its the dwarf colorful ones im into. There is loads out there but i can name a few of my favorites for the reasons above thumbs up A bit less common also

The "Candy stripe" Love these guys, they stay small around 4" and have a lovely color

Starlight bristle nose? Only reach around 5"

laugh If you can source and give into the shame of the price these hit around 4"

This guys 4 to 5 inchs and is hard to find, but they are a lot of cheaper plecs that look similar and come cheaper

There is loads more but id be here al night grin Quickly common dwarf plecs such as lepord frog plec, bulldog plecs, clown plecs you will find easy and cheap enough thumbs up
