| I know it may be wishful thinking but any pretty plecs (small) that would be ideal for a 60L tank? I wanted Gold Nugget but obviously tank is too small  and before anyone suggests my OH didnt want me to have this tank so an upgrade is out of the question  |

^ That should help.
I'd buy a clown pleco, they seem to be tiny enough for a small tank |

| Read elsewhere that my tank may be too small though, although zebra plecs are slightly smaller than a clown plec. I'm in a muddle lol!! |

| Don't know about the L199 phishy.
The zebra plec though are beautiful., I saw some recently in one of my local lfs, can't remember how much they were going for as I wasn't looking to buy anything. They dont grow too big either do they?
I think when one of my BN's goes to fishy heaven that might be what I go looking at.

| £170. lol that's close to 3 times what i paid for my tank
it sounds absurd
But then, that must be normal for you guys.
My friend got me a sailfin pleco (10 inches) for my birthday and later told me he'd paid 100 rupees for it (that's about £ 1.4 HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHHAHA) |
