Plecos
Common Plecos Are Ok, Mine Was Non Aggresive Till Put In To A Larger Tank, However, I Have 2 Which Are Ok But As Long As They Are Apart Not Too Much Agression. I Do Have A Sucking Loach Which Does Try And Suck 1 Of The Plecos, My Shrimp And Blue Lobster. The Loach Seems Quite Agressive, The Plecos Not Too Bad, My Upside Down Cat Is Awesome And Inquisitive Rather Than Agressive, My Corys Are Great And So Is My Albino Cat.

Hypancistrus species like warmer water, so do gold nuggets. Cories are not good, generally, but there are a few types that like it warmer. Sterbai, as mentioned, like warm water.
Definitely go to planetcatfish. the folks there really know their stuff!

Microglanis poecilus or M. iheringi would fit the bill as small cats that do OK in warm water. They are, however, not at all fond of light. You won't see them often. Also, if you have any tetras or other fish under about 6cm, they'd likely be eaten. I think Corydoras sterbai might be better — more visibly active.
