bristlenose plecos would probally work well and they stay under 8 inches

Personally, I would not keep an algae eater in with your mbuna. It will be picked on, and the mbuna really appreciate algae. I like the look of algae on rocks, but my mom doesn't, so in my main display tank that has mbuna I have a common plecostamus. It will grow bigger than a foot. However, once it does, you should not have any problem selling it back to your Fish Store, as big plecostamuses (plecostamai) (sp?, lol) are in big demand with pond owners.
