Pleco with Gold Sev's

[gspille]

What would be a good pleco to put with 2 Gold Sevs (5 in) in my 90 gal and a sun catfish (4 in)? I'd like to find one that gets around 10 in. in size, and fairly easy to find here in stores or online.

Bristle nose they are good cleaners and pretty easy to find, very active at least mine are.

I have 2 BN's now, one in my 40 gal, and one in a 55 gal. I had thought of moving the one bigger of the two over. But I wanted to find something else. I wasn't sure a BN could hold up in there with them cichlids.

If you want something a little more exotic than Bristlenose or regular pleco I would recommend a Royal Pleco (Panaque nigrolineatus). Not real common but can be found. Or you could opt for a Hifin or Leopard pleco (Pterygoplichthys gibbiceps)! Both will get much bigger than a Bristlenose.

I would stay away from a common pleco due to their size and the amount of waste they produce. I have a 14" common in my 150g with severums, parrots, tin foil barbs and a clown knife.
In my 125g, I have 4 bristle nose plecos, firemouths, severums, several lace catfish and parrots and there's not near the amount of waste and all the fish are very active.
