Clown Pleco care - driftwood type?

[Mistago]

Hi,

I recently brought home a clown pleco (about 2 inches long including its tail) and I read that it needs to eat driftwood. I have a small piece of driftwood in my 10 gallon but am wondering if it'll be enough. I don't know what type of driftwood it is - is there a particular type I should add to the tank?

Thanks for your help!

you do not need a specific type but you need multiple pieces of driftwood and your tank is overstocked. Return it and figure out your stocking.

Please note those big capital letters in my signature. Why are you still buying fish for that tank?

The only bottom dweller I'd consider for a 10g is a small group of the smallest cories or perhaps aspidoras. Certainly not a clown pleco. Clown pleco, or Panaque maccus has a good writeup here. http://www.planetcatfish.com/catelog...species_id=734 which clearly states it gets to almost 4 inches.
