Need advice for 29g

I haven't seen any rubber-lipped plecos(this is a Chaetostoma sp correct?), so not sure on there price. Anything under 10$ or so would be fine.
I know what you mean about the UDC, when I see them they are always hanging out at the top of the tank.
Next time I goto a store I will look for a rubber-lipped pleco and see what kinds of synodontis they have.
What type of cat is normally in the same lakes as Firemouths and Convicts?

A couple of probs...

1.) Pimpictus get too large for a 29.
2.) Pimpictus get large enough to eat Cons, and maybe FMs as well.
 
They, will, however work well for a short time, but it's hard to tell when a Pimpictus is big enough to eat something until it does...those wide mouths take in more than they should!!!

(Sorry 'bout that, Optix, but I wanted to make sure that we didn't give Anaxus the idea to put a 10" fish in a 29.)
 
I will probalby go with a Cuckoo Synos for a tank mate.
I still havent decided between a convict or a firemouth.
From what others have said the convict has more of a personality but I like the coloration on the firemouth.
 
The convict has by far a better personality and thats not me being biased I don't think. Thats from experience. The coloration on the firemouth is easily made up for by the male convicts aggression and nunchal hump. I love to see the little guy challenge me to protect his territory yet it almost seems as though he knows im the hand that feeds him so he doesn't get too cocky, if my girlfriend comes around he dances for her but if any of my guy's come around the tank he puffs up and starts showing his gills and displaying gorgeous coloring in his fins and he gets a dark greyish purple and his black stripes get BLACK. Definatly makes up for it over a firemouth. Firemouths bore me:o No offense to anyone who likes them.
