Can I have a plecostomus


in my 5 gallon betta tank? I've had some when I was younger, and I really like the look of them.

I don't recommend it.
They do grow to 2 feet long my LFS keeps several that are that size. However, when they are kept in tanks that do not allow them to reach that size their growth will be stunted. So, it may in theory fit in the tank, but it will not thrive without plenty of room to grow.
In addition, they tend to have a heavy bioload and can do more harm than good to a smaller aquarium.
