Please don't put an SAE in the tank.

Your Pleco will grow very slowly in that size tank, but his internal organs will grow at a normal rate. This is called stunting, and will be painful. Common plecos need a tank of 100+ gals to grow at a normal rate and reach the appropriate size.

What's wrong with a sae? I hope I didn't give too bad of advice. I'm guessing aggression?

A 25L tank is waaay to small for an SAE. Also, SAEs should be kept in groups of 3 or more... which definitely not be appropriate for a 25L tank.
