Plecs and DP's......

[KarlosFandango]

OK, I am going to get 4 DP's for my UK 20g tank, but realise I may need a plec for cleaning up duty. I have a common plec in my larger community tank, but that grew far too big for the 20g - so what species/types would you recommend to live with 4 DP's? LFS had some nice baby chocolate ancistrus' - would they be suitable, and if so how large do they get and would one alone be OK?

Dp's will often chase other fish, but for the most part they seem to leave plecos and other scavenger fish alone. Some good plecos would be:
1. Clown Pleco
2. Bristlenose
3. Bulldog or Wide Mouth plec
as J-Money suggested.
4. Chocolate plecs will probably get to large for a 20 gallon.
Some other fish you could try:
1. Ottos
2. Chinese alergea eater
3. Maybe some freshwater bumblebee gobys to clean up the scraps the Dp's drop

That is all I can really think of.
