I have a 125 gallon that currently has
3 electric blue acaras
2 threadfin acaras
5 red head tapajo geophagus
1 angelfish
2 bristlenose plecos
5 albino corys

I want to add a fancy pleco. Which fancy plecos will get along with bristlenose??? Also i do not want one that gets over 10inches. Any recommendations???
 
These are my fancy plecos: Gold Nugget and Dull Eyed Royal Pleco. Both are between 5 or 6 y.o. The GN is about 4". The D.Royal is 5". The true Royal has bright red eyes and grows huge.
The Dull eyes don't get near as big. With most exotic Plecos you will need some driftwood for them to naw on. These types don't appear to make as much waste as some Plecos do. Bought both at about the same time. They were approx. 1" long. The GN was $30 and the DR was $25. More than I like to spend but they were worth it. They are active day and night, not shy. They are in a tank full of big aggressive cichlids with no problems.
