Default Plant Grazer... Pl*co maybe?

Here's a complete inventory of my fish stock:
1 common pleco
1 CAE
1 albino CAE
2 SAE
1 otoniculus
2 bronze cories
2 albino cories
2 skunk botia
2 rosy barbs
3 neons
1 male betta
2 dwarf cinnamon gaurami
1 painted glass tetra (I know, shame on me. He was one of the original fish
when I stocked the tank. didn't know about the cruelty of dying them then)
1 marble hatchet (mate died recently)
1 glowlight tetra (mate died about a year ago)

A definite community tank. )

I'll change a lot when I redo my tank. I'm also thinking of selling all my
smaller tanks and sinking the money into home improvements so my floor can
withstand my 125 gallon tank. Any takers? I'm in NW Washington
