I think pleco is what you're thinking of.

They get huge, like 18 inches, except for one or more varieties. The common pleco, the type usually found in aquarium stores, is probably going to be a bad idea in my opinion.

I would get some ottocinclus algae eaters or some cyanensis algae eaters (flying fox). Ottos don't get beyond 2 inches, usually to 1.5 inches, and CAE's get 3-4 inches and can sometimes be slightly aggressive.

The above are still better community fish for your size tank than the common pleco.

I think one kind of pleco stays small. Maybe someone here knows the name, and there are some kinds of catfish that stay small too.

Dojo loaches are fun fish. They don't get over 6 inches and are not agressive at all.

Yoyo loaches too.

if you domt mind have 6+ some corydoras which are really small catfish would be good. I am preety sure they are bottom feeders as well as swim around like fish do... and the dark background would look better too, but the tank isnt that bad.

I heard good things about corydoras too. They stay pretty small unlike most other catfish.
