I have a 40 gallon breeder with some yellow labs. I was looking to possibly add a pleco but I'm not super familiar with them. I don't want to get one that would grow too large for this tank. Any advice would help. If I need to wait to upgrade to a larger tank that's cool too. Tank is about 4 years old. Have had the Labs since they were babies so they're health is my main focus.
 
I would get bristlenose/bushynose plecos. They stay small but have protection from the aggression of the labs.
 
A dark colour bristle nose would work. Nothing colourful or albino which would attract attention from the labs.
