I'm well aware that most pleco are actually a danger to dwarf shrimps, But is there any pleco out there that is shrimp safe and won't disturb my plants ?I have wood with moss (back of wood is exposed and not covered by moss) and will drop in veggies every other day.
been reading online, some suggested clown and bristle nose.
Ps: don't suggest oto for algae control, main purpose of pleco is because I love plecos

Other than Otocinclus, I would gladly keep Red Lizard plecos with them. At GC's old location in Clementi, they kept Red Lizards with some of their shrimps.
Fish.. Simply Irresistable
Back to Killies... slowly.
red lizard pleco, I'll do some research before committing, thanks for suggestion

I'm keeping red lizard with my firered. So far so good. But I have lots of cover / moss for the shrimps
You may want to also go with L183 aka Starlight pleco. Got mine at GC. But fast selling little fellas.
I have fire red and crystal red together with my L46, L183 and L204 for many months, planted and non-planted tanks. So far so good.
I have L136 with CRS no problem for 3 years
red lizard i hear was ok but nv tried before only with starlight so far ok shrimp breeding well also never see it disturb any ok the plants and shrimplet
Just got a L191 yesterday and I just read this post. Hopefully it will left my cherries alone.....
191 belongs to panaque, grows over a ft long, it will easily crush any shrimp with it's weight at adult size

You could try the newly relocated Fishy Business at Sims Place. They have got tons of DW and different types of stones. Great selection too!

For Plecos, going for Hypans will be the safest if you are letting them share tank with shrimps. I ever placed L46 and L134 with my shrimps. Others include lizards, brittleness and L183 But please take note Plecos poo A LOT. So keep an eye on water perimeters.
