In specialty fish shops they do sell lots of sizes, but in chain stores in the US they only seem to sell Common Plecos. And back when I got him (which was like 15 years ago) the tag said they only needed 20g, which is like 160 gallons too small, lol. I just wish the big chain stores would sell the smaller varieties, because that’s where a lot of people go for their first tanks.

I like them, but I am not sad I took him back, lol. If I had a pond I would love to have a common pleco in it. 😁 But I live in the desert, so ponds are hard to do here.

Hey, be sure to update us about what fish you decide for this tank! And post pictures. I would love to see once it’s all set up. 😊
