| If bristlenose plecos cost that much around here I would get one! holy crap, those are cheap! Oh, and the $10 common pleco-- it was about 2 inches. for my 20 I'm either gonna get chinese hillstream loach (aka stingray pleco) or 2 otos.

| you could get more otos than that for a 20 gallon. probably 3, maybe 4 if you have tons of algae growing and bright lights to sustain it. also be prepared to feed them daily once you stop seeing algae in the tank.

| Don't get a Hill Stream Loach. I know how tempting it is, but they are verrrrrryyyyy hard to keep healthy & alive. I'd save up for a B/N and consider it your first expensive fish. I spent 20$ on 2 Clown Plecos, so, it's not un-manageable, just worth saving for. Oh - get one with a ton of bristles, they look cooler[they are males]. Have a great day. I've got tomorrow to live through, then the day after is my birthday! I'm requesting some new fish though!! ![]()

and to the OP, the hardier the fish you can get the better. eventually i think all us fish keepers have to move on to more exotic fish and more challanges, be it plants ,new tanks etc. (MTS) i never would have thought i would love this hobby as much as i do. even with all the work it can involve. thats all, lol later
