What medium sized bottom feeder would get along with a convict, firemouth, and a school of giant danios in a 55g tank?

I have 2-3inch Brochis cories with mine they do fine. I thought they would get picked on alot but not really. Or get like a pleco that only grows to 10 inches or less. Possibly some Pictus cats around 4 inches or so.

I have a couple of Striped Raphaels that never cause any problems in my tanks. Plus they can take a beating by larger cichlids. They are pretty common at most pet stores too.

can get a bristle nose pleco... do not get much past 6 inches and have cool look to them.. but like some other plecos they do not get lazy and stop cleaning....and they are tough as nails... can fight back.. careful when moving they can sting ya...

Wow that's crazy money for a bristlenose. Around here they go for $8.99-$9.99 for full grown bristlenose plecos. Come down to the Dallas TX area and pick one up lol.
