L018 can reach 14"
you could go for something like L264 sultan plec like the 1 im selling in the classifieds section lol thought i would get that in
other options are
L66 king tiger
L333 yellow king tiger
L200 green phantom
L102 snowball pleco
any ancistrus species
also look at peckolitia and hypancystrus genus all these stay small and are very attractivly marked

yeah i think i will check some of those out! when i finally decide what pleco to get when do you think i should put it in the tank?(also i havent even cycled my tank yet so no rush lol)

i think a mature tank is better for the ancistrus but hypancystrus and peckolitia should be ok once your cycled due to the fact they dont eat algea
