Question
I have a small ten gallon tank and i would like to have a sucker fish are there anykind that wont grow out of my tank with my pear gourmies?

Answer
Hi Jesse;

Otocinclus are the best for small tanks. They only get about an inch and a half long and are good algae eaters. You can have one or two in a ten gallon. More than 2 and they will not have enough algae to eat.
