I was looking for the same thing for my Oscar tank. I couldn't find one, and I think I searched the internet for about a month. I found that the larger plecos are not so great at eating algae. I agree the bristlenose are great. I had a pair in my tank, but they were a little small to be in an Oscar tank. I decided to go with a pleco that eats anything given to them, especially with a messy Oscar spitting out food everywhere. I also realized that there were not many plecos that stayed in the 8 inch range. I did research, and found a few on the internet, unfortunatley none of my LFS could get any. I ended up getting an 8-9" Goldie pleco (L-14) I love him. However, I think they like lower ph. I would check out the L-160 pleco. They stay in the 8" range, and are very tough (even a little aggressive), so they could probably handle the africans.

You could also go with a sail-fin pleco, and trade it in when it gets larger. You could keep a pretty large pleco in a 90 gallon though. Also, plecos don't always get to the size stated on the internet or in books in the home aquarium.

Also, be careful with some of the fancy plecos, because most are from South America and can not handle the high pH of an African tank.

If I were you, I would go ahead and get the A.ranunculus. But I would not add it to a newly cycled tank. I would wait another month after your tank is really going. $25.00 is an Ok price for that fish. The hard thing is these kind of plecos are in high demand and are usually pretty rare in the LFS (at least in my area).

also check out www.aquazoo.co.uk they have pretty good info on some of the plecos. Also the plecos they talk about are not super rare, so your LFS might be able to order you one.
