Well my fish tank finished cycling last week, I haven't got fish for it. I am going on a vacay next week so I was going to way 'til I got back. Anyways my plan was to get a clown pl*co, but I have not had any luck finding them. I have however run across some rubbernose pl*c. I was told they would only get about five inches long.

So what do ya'll think of those? Would it go good in a community tank?

I've had several of them. They're very shy, but cute guys, and very peaceful. I usually only see mine at night. They're great algae cleaners... much better at cleaning algae than clown plecos.

In a 55g (if that's what you're stocking), you could get both a clown pleco and a rubbernose.

lol, well if I ever run across a clown or BN I may have to get one. And yes it would be for my 55.

But I saw those rubbernose and I thought that they had to be the cutest algae eater I have ever seen.
