Bottom Feeders?

[sputnick]

What kind of bottom feeders do you keep with your African Cichlids? I bought a bristlenose pleco yesterday but he is very tiny yet and im treating my cichlid tank for velvet right now, so i put him in my 10 gallon until he grows enough. But what other catfish/pleco's would be suitable? I love the look of the rubber lip pleco's too and considered getting one of those because they are pretty small yet too. I decided against it though because i spent enough money yesterday

I have had a [background=rgb(252, 252, 252)] Violet Cochliodon(L137) for about 10 years with my Tanganyika Cichlids but I believe they are equally as happy with Malawis.[/background]

oh wow! thats one cool looking fish! sadly im limited to whatever my lfs has and they only cary the more common fish. your fish looks a lot like a rubber lip pleco though.. im going to grow my bristlenose in my 10 gallon until he gets bigger and i think ill pick up a rubber lip pleco and grow that as well, then get a regular pleco and put him in my large tank for now
