ilah Posted May 5, 2007 Report Share Posted May 5, 2007 Quite a few options there really, depends on how small you want 'small' to be and what you want to spend etc, also what pattern you want, what you want to keep them with blah blah blah... Hypans are good, stay smallish, king tigers, queen arabs....things like that Pitbulls stay really small and are quite cheap for a fancy plec.... Alot of other things get big but they take a long time to grow so will stay smallish for a long time, nuggets, snowballs, goldies and the smaller panaques are a nice size...if you can get your hands on them, everyone seems to have gone a bit nutty over those at the mo All are pretty easy to keep its just the price that put a lot of people off Hope that kinda helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snookie Posted May 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2007 plan is will be in a 6ft x2ft x2ft ,semi planted tank with a fire eel and various rainbow fish , looking for a couple of clean up crew , Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilah Posted May 5, 2007 Report Share Posted May 5, 2007 Just keep a tight fitting lid over the tank, then the kids will be fine Look up LDA25 or Parotocinclus jumbo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firenzenz Posted May 11, 2007 Report Share Posted May 11, 2007 The last lot of pitbulls here seem to be intermingled with parotocinclus spilosoma as well. A diiference in patterning from jumbo- both cute if a little drab but good price. Gold nuggets, snowballs get big, goldies and Mango's even bigger(25cm+) A lot of fancy plecs aren't necessarily good tank cleaner or algae eaters, just show ponies. A few GBA's in that tank will keep it sparkling and good colour too. Or Albino bristlenoses for something a little flasher-cool little red eyes.
