So I'm in the market for 2 new plecos, 1 of them is going into a 125g community(ish) type of S/CA American Cichlid tank and the other is going to go into a 72 Bow with a 6 inch flowerhorn and 3 silver dollar dithers.

I'm not too interested in the common plecos so I'm hoping to get some suggestions of other types that don't get massively large. Thanks in Advance.
 
There are SO MANY OPTIONS out there, I wouldn't even know where to start. Are there any characteristics you're looking for in particular? You might want to browse the pleco L type list here: http://www.plecoplanet.com/forum/articles.php

I've spent a bunch of time on there figuring out what types I'm into.
 
I'm looking for a "little" color and ones that don't get massively large. In addition, I've never ordered a fish online before so if I can find something unique, but also sold in most LFS's that would be ideal. Nonetheless... who knows, this could also be the first fish I get sent to me as well.
 
if you want nice color Id say go with the green phantom
