There is a chance it might get bigger then 8 inches but that will take a while but have you thought of a Rhino pleco.
Ive been looking for my first pleco also i suggest going to planetcatfish or somewhere like that and go through the profiles and find the one that you think best suits your tank and needs 
there are lots of profiles though 
but the info is fairly detailed so its good
there are lots of profiles though but the info is fairly detailed so its goodBig centrals can be tough even on an armoured pleco. The smaller algae eaters would not last long with big centrals. Large common or adoniis or sailfin plecos will probally last longer with centrals but will not eat much algae espicially as they grow larger. Can;t beat your arm and old algae scrubber for algae though.
It grows so fast though..... I have to clean the glass everyday..... Its driving me mad! My central are all quite small around 4 inches..... Only 1 large vieja red head... Who lived with a flash pleco fir several years so will most prob be ok with some smaller peco ...... Someone near were i live has breed some bristelnose plecos but they are only an inch..... I might be able to get like 10 of them for cheep.... But i don't know if any will survive which would really upset me..... I don't think the breeder will grow them out any larger plus as i have 1 large male it could cause more problems...... I was thinking of a bulldog but i have never had one before..... Anyone think this could work?
