i think the smallest pleco is 3 inches. one is the Zebra pleco or the scientific name is Hypancistrus zebra they are cut and they only get 3 inches although u might want to reconsider because they are like 250.00 dollers very exspecive. i beliave that is the smalles then it goes to 4 inches and there are several of them.


Zebra plecos are carnivorous and will do nothing to algae.

Bulldog plecs are small and look really cool but can be horribly sensitive to water quality - ergo not great for a small tank where the water quality may go a bit sour rather easily.

just a wildcard sugestion, but we recently bought a hillstream loach, quite small and seems to a pretty good job on the algae in our 15g

That Parotocinclus maculicauda is awesome. I think it's the perfect fish to add to my tank. Anybody know how available they are in NorthEast US? Or if any online distributors carry them?

Depending on where you search for fish, none of the parotocinclus species are terribly rare.
