WTB Pleco and a hob filter. Trade cichlids for community.

[lynn]

I would like to buy a pleco for my tank, it is 40 gallons.  I'm in the cy-fair area.  I have 3 yellow labs, 1 male about 4 inches and 2 females about 3 inches, 1 male convict, 3 females, 2 fish that I don't know what they are.  They are shaped like the labs and are a bluish lavender color with dark stipes.

Any specific type?
Do you want to get it from a certain location?

...BN's make good tankmates for most cichlids...

As far as what type of hob filter I know I do not want a bio wheel.  I had a whisper filter long ago and liked it so maybe something like that.  I am having issues with brown sheet-like algae and have no pleco.  I'm doing several water changes so hopefully that will help.  

I don't want to have to drive very far to pick anything up.  15-20 minute drive is ok.  I'm around 1960 & Jones

I would stick with the Bristle Nose if I were you.  I'm not sure how big the albino chocolate gets that airportjunke is offering but the common Plecos that you get grow too large for a 40 gallon.  You will inevitably have to find somewhere for it to go once it out grows your tank.
