Ancistrus is probably the most commonly used pleco for a planted aquarium.  Algae eater that doesn't grow as large as it's cousins.

let be a bit more specifics

 

what body is refering to is bristlenose pleco.

I have a bristle nose about two years old in my 55 only about 3 inches or so

oh ok..from ur exp the bristle nose that is,how do u find them in ur aquarium, doing algae eating?

first.... a pleco that's a efficient algae eater.or should i say better than the common pleco

2ndly...it doesn't grow larger than 12cm.....which is suitable in a planted tanks.

3rdly.... body doesn't not matter,as long its not more than 12cm, .

hi thanks for the info bout the Ancistrus species.

Bristle-Nose Pleco for sure,own one love him to death....

This is from WIKI

These fish are often kept by aquarists as they are dutiful algae-eaters and smaller in adult size than the common plecos usually seen in petshops. Size is up to 15 cm (male), 12 cm (female), recommended temperature 23-27 degrees Celsius, lifespan up to 12 years.
