im a new freshwater tank owner

Question
this may sound silly but i honestly dont know the answer so. im looking to getting three swordtail fish theyre known to have as many as 150 fry but not always but i was wondering if its safe to put a small freshwater suckerfish in the same tank and if so i need help finding one that wont grow to be more than 7 in. do you know any that might be safe? please respond soon your answer is greatly needed

Answer
Hello,

While albino plecos may be a viable option, most plecos do grow to outstanding length that may not be suitable for your tank. If you would like a bottom-feeding fish that won't grow too large, catfish are another potential option. Some do get large, but cory cats usually don't.

I hope this helps.

Regards,
Stephanie
