danilada Posted December 18, 2007 Report Share Posted December 18, 2007 Heard some-one talking about one the other day, is there such thing? or are they refering to a Bristlenose? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tHEcONCH Posted December 18, 2007 Report Share Posted December 18, 2007 Its a generic term - there are all sorts of 'Dwarf Plecos' - they are usually quite small, colourful, and expensive - e.g. Blue Phantoms.

Cheesejawa Posted December 18, 2007 Report Share Posted December 18, 2007 theres one on trademe. And no it is not a bristle nose. Ive also heard of dwarf clown plecos. YAY 1 star :bounce: :bounce: 8) 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dixon1990 Posted December 18, 2007 Report Share Posted December 18, 2007 What about the 1 on trademe from phill collis looks like a normal pleco. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danilada Posted December 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2007 Just had a nose on Trade Me, and seen them on there. I like Pleco's and always wanted one, but have never had the room. I prefer them to Bristlenoses. Might look into one. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OscarBoy Posted December 18, 2007 Report Share Posted December 18, 2007 how much are the dwarf plecos? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danilada Posted December 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2007 Read it properly Oscarboy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OscarBoy Posted December 18, 2007 Report Share Posted December 18, 2007 oh u want a dwarf 1? :lol: i have many plecos from 5cm to 30cm lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danilada Posted December 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2007 Like I said earlier, I want a dwarf pleco, as it will not grow to the size of a average pleco. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ianab Posted December 18, 2007 Report Share Posted December 18, 2007 About the smallest pleco is the Oto. http://www.planetcatfish.com/catelog/species.php?species_id=107 Max length of about 3cm, so it shouldn't outgrow any tank Best kept in a small group though, they will be much happier and playfull with company. There are a lot of smaller pleco species, but a lot of them aren't imported into NZ Cheers Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danilada Posted December 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2007 Thanks Ian. I always see Otos in my LFS but never knew they were a pleco, you do learn some-thing every-day I was thinking more along the lines of a Bristlenose size Pleco, that isnt a Bristlnoses, make sense :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slightly Blue Dalmation Posted December 18, 2007 Report Share Posted December 18, 2007 ever though along the lines of whiptails or something similar? they get a wee bit bigger but are still slender so overall not too big Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Posted December 19, 2007 Report Share Posted December 19, 2007 I don't think otos are generally considered to be plecos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coelacanth Posted December 19, 2007 Report Share Posted December 19, 2007 I think he meant they were also loricariids. Its just a matter of definition Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
