I often get asked what is the smallest "pleco" or the best one for a small tank. Ancistrus cirrhosus, the Common Bristlenose, can get over 4 inches. Ancistrus claro, the Marbled Bristlenose, only gets 2.8 inches long and is a very attractive white and black filigree color. It is suitable for 10 to 15 gallon tanks.
