Can I Add A Bristlenose?

Hi! When I first started in the hobby, I had a pleco (probably a common, don't remember, in too small a tank regardless). I've recently stumbled across the bristlenose pleco and was wondering if it is compatible with my planned stocking. Also if there will be any issues I should watch for. I only want one. Thank you so much!

Tank Details
50 gallon tank
Currently at room temp (right around 76° F)
Will be kept at 78° F
Decent amount of flow
Ph 7.0

Stocking
Current:
One Platy
One skirt tetra
One Orange-finned loach
One mystery snail
Planned:
Two rainbow cichlids
One Orange-finned loach
One Mystery snail

Decor
Current:
-Large cave (loach's home)
-White rock with large holes to swim through thing
- Large fake plant
- Floating driftwood (my Platy likes it floating, was going to take it out to soak in a bucket but)
The Plan:
- One large piece of driftwood (about 14 in)
- A few smaller pieces of driftwood
- Alternanthera Reineckii
- Ocelot Sword
- Dwarf Water Lettuce
- Hygrophila Corymbosa var Stricta
- Blyxa Japonica
- Dwarf Hairgrass

Would he work with the current and future plan? Or just one? Or none?

 

Yes you could fit one in that tank, but 78 is really on the high end of its temp range. You could probably afford to bring the tank down to 76. I would watch for aggressive behavior from the loaches, though it should be okay

78 is on the high end of it's temp range. I probably could bring it down, I chose 78 for the cichlids. 76 is just about summer room temp water, but will still need to heat in winter. 76 is temp compatible for the loach and cichlids, I'll bring it down to that, maybe 77?
The loach is pretty laid back, but I'll keep a careful eye on it for aggression.

Would he work with the current set up and the planned one? Or just the planned one?

 

The rainbow cichlids are fine in cooler water. The skirt tetra needs 76f or cooler. I would keep the temperature around 75f.

If you keep the temperature 76-80f I would get a clown pleco rather than a BN

The skirt tetra is in 76° or cooler right now, will not be in this tank with the cichlids.

76-78 is within the bristenose temperature range? How big do clown plecos get?

 

Side note: feeding the pleco.
Will this work:
-Algae
-Blanched veggies (sugar snap peas, zuchinni, cucumber, raw green beans)
- any fish food that my other fish fail to eat
- freeze dried bloodworms

 

That should be fine
