That doesn't mind blindingly bright lights, that is under 50$ (higher price if rlly cool looking) in California pricing, that wont damage and/or uproot live plants, and that will be ok with an extremely agressive synodontis catfish. Also must get at least 4-5" in length. It needs to be social and visible within the tank. I have an ungodly amount of driftwood in my tank and the last one I had was a bristolnose and it never left the driftwood once. It refused to eat green algae. So the pleco has to be willing to attach to the glass.

Any ideas?

I have a Albino bristlenose pleco and it's great! it gets along with my syno and pictus cats. I don't know about live plants because I don't have any.

I would get a few rubber lips they are amazing Pleco and don't get overly big and great at eating algae. Plus they are pretty cheap too ;)
 
Id say get some chinese algae eaters they do amazing work!! And cheap. I never had to clean my glass once in the 6months ive had them. While my other tanks its once a week.
