I have a 200gl tank with a arowana 10in spotted p-bass 8in, ripsaw catfish 7in, Senegal poly 6in, and flagtail 5in. I will be getting a 300g tank in about 6-8 months.
so what pleco should I get and I am open to buying two if you guys think that will work.
the price I would like to stay under $150 but I want something very cool and striking.

thanks

I'm all for any Royal Pleco 10" or greater..
BTW my plecos always bothered my living piece of drifwood(aka niger cat).
One left a nice circular mark on him before I removed the pleco from tank.:popcorn:
 
L-14 or L-114 but not both or l-24. An l-25 would be more than $150 but would be spectacular. L-600 would be great, but they are hard to find.

Scarlets (aka L-25) are very expensive and are usually extremely difficult to find in most parts of the US. I'd recommend a gibby, nice patterning, good max size/growth rate, very hardy, and you can find 'em at almost any pet store... the perfect pleco, imo. And forgot to mention, they're also fairly cheap, a 6-8 incher costs around $40-$60 around here (and prices where I am seem to usually be quite a bit higher than most other places in the US).

Green Phantom?

With a GP, there'd be a risk of it getting eaten by the pbass. I'd say the safest bet would be to go with something with an adult size of over 15".
