Firstly, I'm not an expert on plecs, the less I have to do with them the better. All I can tell you is the majority of species you find in aquatic stores for very little money are the ones that get very big. They're absolutely loads different species of plec that don't grow anywhere near as big as the common species. However, it's finding them that can be difficult. Also, some of them are incredibly expensive. If you are dead set on getting one, I know for certain that the gold nugget Plecos reaches around seven or 8 inches maximum. However, I think I paid about £29 for the one I had a while back. Unfortunately, it died. Why not visit Plecofanatics.com and get some advice. They are a very friendly bunch of individuals who will give you some advice. But remember, your tank is not big enough for one of the big ones whatever anyone else says.
