At least 6-8.

In that case I think I will get a small plec! any suggestions?

Cannot remember what size your aquarium is, but if you can find one there's the Clown Plecostomus (Panaqolus maccus)

Maximum Size: 9cm (3.5" inches) but most of the time around 3" inches in captivity.

That maximum size is a Standard Length (excluding tail) so about 5”, same as bristlenoses.
The Flash Plec (P. albivermis) is the same size. They both need softish wood to eat.

Mr. Ghost, whenever I have kept Clown Plecostomus (Panaqolus maccus) these Loricariids have never grown over three inches (not including caudal fin) in any my aquariums nor have I've seen them any larger than 3" inches.

Think you might be mixing these fish with a different Plecostomus species.

Yeah that fits. 3” not including caudal fin is 3” Standard Length, which is about 4” Total Length (including caudal fin). They can grow to about 5” TL, which is about 3.5 - 4” SL. I doubt Planet Catfish have mixed them up with a different species.

Thanks guys both those plecs will be suitable, I'm quite lucky to live near Ferry Bridge Aquatics who stock a good variety of plecs.
