You can put a pleco with cichlids. Plecos eat algae. However, most likely, the pleco will eat all the algae fairly quickly, then you will have to be sure to feed him sinking algae pellets, or he will starve to death.
And, I agree with the guy at the pet store - that is plenty of fish for a ten gallon.
"We give dogs the time we can spare, the space we can spare and the love we can spare. And in return, dogs give us their all. It's the best deal man has ever made" - M. Facklam
"We are raised to honor all the wrong explorers and discoverers - thieves planting flags, murderers carrying crosses. Let us at last praise the colonizers of dreams."- P.S. Beagle
"All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king." - J.R.R. Tolkien
