What type fish will it be going with? If it's a peaceful community tank, then otos are really great.

Theres lots of diffrent species of plecos that dont grow massive, Zebra plecos are nice, but they also like to eat flakes off the bottom, not just algae. Wut size is the tank? in a 10g i would put 3 otos since they dont grow big. in 20 u could put like 5. they grow about 1.5"

Theres rhino plecos, royal plecos, clown plecos, orange spotted plecos, but i wouldnt realy put any in a 10g, so if u got 10g go with otos.

But wait till theres algea in the tank before u add them (bout 4 weeks)
