what is the smallest kind of Plecostomus?

Question

name from least to greatest... THANKS SO MUCH PEOPLE WHO ANSWERED!!!!!!!

Answer 1

Technically, Otocincluses are Plecos. So if you consider them plecos, they would be. Other than that, the Parotocinclus Jumbo (ironic name for such a small fish, eh?).

Answer 2

The smallest named pleco is the LDA25, Pitbull Pleco, grows to 2 inches. http://www.planetcatfish.com/cotm/cotm.php?article_id=164

There are others that grow smaller, but they are newly discovered species that are yet to be named.

Like my Chaetostoma sp. 2, which grows to 2 inches, http://www.planetcatfish.com/catelog/species.php?species_id=917
