I have had my 55 gallon tank set up for about 5 months now and my pleco died last night. I was wanting to find a replacement. But I want to avoid another pleco cause he was always tearing the plants up and knocking over ornaments. So what can I put in.

I already have in the tank the folllowing fish.

One gold Gourami
One blue gourami
One paradise gourami.
2 Swordtails
2 platies
5 mollies
2 ballon mollies
1 juli cory catfish
4 albino cory catfish
1 pepper cory catfish.
What do you suggest?
 
You could look at some oto catfish.They are small little sucker fish that like to be kept in group of 3 or more.But looking at your fish in your tank i am not sure if the oto's will get along with other fish.
You could also look at algea eating shrimp ,but they also get beaten up or eaten by other fish.
Urmm what about getting a different species of pleco, i mean like a smaller one that might not be able to mess up your tank?
I dont know much about "cleaner fish" but i have done some research because i am looking to get sucker fish for my tank aswell.

Hope i helped and last thing is because my answers are breif i suggest you try searching the fish i suggested in google becuase this info is just in my head which i gathered from other sites.
 
Chinese algae eater are my favorit by far but you need to keep in mind that some can become aggressive after a few years so you may need to replace them after three or so years
