The M.Iheringi would predate on any pleco fry but smaller species of pleco could go in without problem - like the blue-eye ancistrus. A shoal of something like lemon tetras or bleeding hearts would be good as would tetras of similar size.

A lot depends on how you set the tank up - a thin layer of sand (1cm)with some stones, bogwood pieces with anubias, java fern or bolbitis, fine branches and terracota saucers as caves would allow microglanis, farlowella, and a couple of shoals of tetras for example
