What is the best "sucker fish" for a freshwater tank?

[KaDy]

Should I buy one or 2?... it will be for a 10 gallon tank, with about 8-9 smaller fish in it. But I would really like to know what is the name of the fish I should get? I think i've seen several different kinds??? not sure though... Thanks!

Plecos can grow to about 18", and aren't appropriate for a 10 gallon tank.

Otos are the only sucker fish that stay small enough for your tank. They like to be in small groups so I'd recommend getting 3 of them. I think they are really really cute.

With this many fish in your tank, you should be doing weekly water changes of 25% so your water will stay healthy.

Since your fish are small, I think you can keep 11-12 little fish in your tank. The 1"/gallon rule doesn't take into consideration body size and height of the fish. According to that rule, your 10 gallon tank could accomodate a 10" goldfish, which you see would be ridiculous, the fish would hardly be able to turn around.
