Re: Plecos and discus
Gold nuggets don’t eat algae.
I keep a variety of plecos in my discus tanks. 173s yellow chubbies, 397 136b/c
None eat algae - most are omnivores
I have never seen a pleco latch onto a discus or any suction marks on discus

Re: Brazil wishlist
Brazil species will become extinct not because of commercial fishing.
Global warming and deforestation will take care of that long before overfishing.
Also, I cannot think of a single ornamental species that become extinct because of the aquarium trade
