The time has come and my pleco is becoming aggressive towards my ornates. I have a buyer and he's out the door tomorrow. He still doesn't suck on them but he attacks them with his pectoral fins as you can see in this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tT-za3CD4QA . He owns the front of the tank.
so any suggestions for a bottom feeder that doesn't get too big like clown loaches tend to would be great. THanks

Clown loaches too big?? :confused:
Yu're not going to get away with cories and ottos when your ornates get bigger.
I've got a chocolate talking cat and a spotty syno of some sorts in with my big ornate, and I'm growing out 5 clown loaches to go with him.

I have clown loaches and they get along fine. Just make sure you don't get more than 5 loaches then they may take over.

Seconded. Loaches make a great cleanup crew with polys.
