you can google pleco and find lots of differnt ones. Tank size I say 30 gallons for a "small one" 6 inches at most and 55 gallons for a bigger one. From my experience they poo too much and it's a sort of eye sore if you don't clean it enough

i'd say about the same really D: since all they eat is plants their poo doesnt break down as fast because of the cell walls and leaves all this stringy looking stuff around the tank. i have seen tanks that look like the substrate is some dirt but its actually pleco mess and it will sometimes hang around for weeks

yeah
if you dont have a big enough tank or you arent willing to clean up their mess its best to leave em to someone else XP there are some REALLY pretty ones
i do know of the gold nugget pleco
its very pretty but i remember its a pleco and let it be no matter how small it is now

i buy tetra food and water conditioners
i also buy API and kent things for the water (ammonia lock, slime coat, ect)
i think its all pretty much the same stuff.
i think all you REALLY have to worry about as far as food is that if you have a carnivore its getting particularly meaty foods, herbivores are getting plant based foods, and omnivores are getting a mix.
