advice on choosing a pleco

Post by Supercorygirl »

I'm starting a standard 4 foot 75G lake tangayakian cichlid tank and my little boy is begging for another pleco since I rehome his giant a year ago. It's occupants are some altolamprolongus calvus, some cyprichromis and hoping to add some synodontis luciPinnis. Water is going to be 78-80F, 300TDS and a pH of 8, is there a smaller species of pleco that would fit this mix, something g that hopefully stays under the 6" mark?

It's not really a set-up that would naturally suit most plecos.

That's what I figured after going through the site, but as I know nothing of plecos, thought I would ask, just in case.
