I’d recommend no Royal pleco. Most Royal plecos get about 2 feet, not only that they produce a lot of waste which in turn increases nitrates.
Scrap the appistogramma and definitely no rams, if you want added color Do A blue acara instead of the dwarf cichlids! the acara and Severum will do great together as far as cichlids go they are both super peaceful and too big for bichir to take down I have some together now with zero issues a 75 is kinda small for 2 adult Severum with the other fish mentioned if they start spawning I’d probably just do 1 of each cichlid you could swap out the second Severum with something else and not have to deal with fights breaking out you could do a chocolate cichlids firemouth festivus angelfish or even earth eaters the pleco would be fine but a total poop machine I gotta agree with what the last guy said
You’d be hard pressed to find a small 8 inch Royal pleco. What is the L number?
There are lots of plecos in that size range but none are royals that will stay that small
I have a Royal that I will no doubt have to be re homes once he’s bigger
If you're looking for plecos with minimal bioload look at bristle nose. Stay around 4 to 5 inches full grown and do a decent job cleaning algae.
