So, what species are permitted in this? For example, are Paneque's allowed what about Whiptails. What is and isn't a Pleco. I personally don't class bristle nose cats as plecos.
Calling all Plecos.....

Drop in an algae wafer and they may come out to eat… mine does.

For the contest, Bistlenose are considered plecos. Also plecos that are designated starting with “L” qualify.
So Panaque nigrolineatus doesn't qualify and Hypancistrus zebra won't either. I am doing this so the members are clear about what is a pleco

Paneques would be allowed. Whiptails would not qualify. Corydoras do not qualify.

Here’s a definition for a Pleco
www.aqueon.com
Plecostomus Care Guide
Plecostomus, or “plecos” as they are often called, belong to the Family Loricariidae, which is the largest family of catfish in the world. They are characterized by heavy armored plates on their bodies and sucker-shaped mouths.

I think this sites definition is a little loose.
Maybe the competition needs to be for "Suckers", that will stop any confusion
What about the sucker fish which are classified as loaches, eg Gyrinocheilus aymonieri? And stiphodons? They are "suckers" but not Loricariids.
Panaque nigrolineatus is L190 and Hypancistrus zebra is L046 or possibly L098 so both do qualify
