I don't have a 125 gallon tank, mine is only a 20, so I never had a common pleco to begin with. I have a rubbernose pleco cause they don't grow big. A bushynose pleco would be better, cause they are smaller, but I love my rubbernose.

I second the Ancistrus sp. (Bristlenose pleco.) I have one in my 20 gallon tank, and he's the best algae eater ever :) They only grow to about 4 or 5 inches long. I believe a rubbernose is too large for a 20 gallon tank...

How big is your tank and what other fish are in it? Without this information any answer could be a bad answer. I'd say your best bet is a mag float algae cleaner.

i have ancistris plecos. they are smaller than hypostomus and better algae eaters. they only costa between 3-20us and dont get more then 8". they also have cute bushy faces and you can tell the difference in males and females on site.

Ditto to Bristlenose. They are great.

what maybe some snails would work if you don't want to get more plecos
