What kind?

OK i was wrong its not Pterygoplichtys after counting the dorsal fin rays. My best guess is you got the actual Pleco Hypostomus plecostomus. According to Planetcatfish they get roughly 12" which is ok for your 125gal. Dang wish I had one of them there nice and stay smallish lol. All I got here are pardalis and gibbiceps at my LFS
 
Yeah the other would do fine in a 125gal in my opinion there the most peaceful of the Pterygoplichthys family but would be best to rehome due to the size difference. Where did you find these 2 guys???
 
Oh ok how lucky. Those pleco's arent commonly seen like they were towards the begining of the aquaria era. They have been replaced. How big is it currently???
 
The actual pleco I am keeping will be moved into a 125 with my sa/ca cichlids none of them are above 6 1/2"-7" and there is a bunch of driftwood in there for him. The previous owner had no driftwood for them and fed them wardley algae disks. He is now getting Ken's algae wafers, Ken's cichlid stick mix - earthworm, veggie, brine shrimp, spirolina sticks as well as tonight I will be dropping in some zuchinni. The larger of the 2 is in a 35 gal for now, but my husband's cousin will be taking it for their 200. There is a couple of pieces of driftwood in the tank, and I advised and will provide them with a starter of the same foods I feed my plecos.

Am I missing anything they should be getting?
 
Nope not that im aware of all sounds good. Wow they moved up in the tank world lol. To the best of my knowledge Wardley in general isnt a very good food to feed to you fish heard they dont got so much of the things our fish friends need. I fed mine hikari wafers but they get ignored now they prefer the driftwood more but if I put zuchini then they go for that first. I wanna see your new pleco friend when he is full grown
