Can't Decide, Banjo Catfish or Bristlenose Pleco?

#1
I am having trouble deciding what catfish I should get for my 37g . Should I get a banjo, or a bristlenose? At my LFS, They ran out of BN so I have to wait a few days until they come in. But in the same tank, they have cute little banjos. The banjos only cost 5 bucks while the BN costs 6 bucks.

Please give me a list of pros and cons on what I should get. I'm not sure what I should get... hmmmmm.....

well you never see your banjos move, but they do look cool

and you see you BN somtimes, but only sometimes

is say "plink plink plink"

if you want a pl*co id go with something more exotic *cough* L260 *cough* lol

The banjo is definitely a cool looking fish, but like Igor said you will never see him move. In fact you will be lucky if you ever see him at all.

The BN on the other hand will learn to come out for food, and will help keep your glass clean.

But as it's name states it is "common"

Flip a quarter.:p
