Plecos can be quite pricey as well but there well worth it. You could pick up multi's off madasa i think if he is still selling quite cheap
just look around plecos or multis or peppermint bristlenose would be my tips
you could always go for common bristlenose or Albino Bristlenose or corys
Regards
Phil.

Ahh ok,
Those B/N's settled in well, why not try some more of those?
Get some breeding.

did you mean Synodontis eupterus?
featherfin cats, when grown up, look so pretty - my favourite at home, aptly named 'Spot', has his top fin going all the way back to his tail & then some
very cool
If you go with featherfins (you can have one or a whole group of them), make sure that there are caves/hollows for them to hide in.
Oh & you could always add multis or plecos to the tank too :wink:
