Any plecos suitable for a 35g?

I really like plecos... are there any that would be good in a tank that size? I was thinking about rubberlips, those are really cool... what do you think?

BN or a clown pleco would work. I think rubberlips get a bit larger than the ones I mentioned.

i havent seen any BN's here... i saw one a while back, but have never ran into them again. I did see the rubberlip... those are cute LOL i really want a pleco, they add personality ya know? I think i might take a trip to my LFS and check to see what they have. I wont come home with anything i havent researched though...

Plecos add a significant bioload to your tank, so keep that in mind. I think a clown pleco would be best for a 20, as it tops out at only 4 inches.

An L-129 would be good if you can find one, they don't need wood in their diet. They don't grow over 4", more like 3.5".

i think your pretty much ok with ANY pleco as long as its not a 'common' pleco. to my knowledge those are the only monster sized pleco.

ABN are my favs!

I think you'll be good with BN's or clowns. I like the coloring of the clowns better though!
