I recently bought a "scribble" plec I think is a L333. He digs a bit more than I expected so I don't think I want to put him in my planted tank. So my other option is a 55g with a clown plec about the same size, ~2in SL., the other fish are small clown loaches & tiger barbs.The clown plec has a territory at 1 end & there ae several other caves of rock & wood. Are the plecs apt to fight? (I will be getting a larger tank for the loaches but not right now.) Since most of the fish are fairly noctunal I may not notice until too late...

nah, as long as the plecs are of different types, they won't fight (on a side note, those clow loaches will eventually need a bigger tank)
 
the clown plec may be territorial, but as long as the scribble doesn't try to invade they'll be fine.
