Looking for suggestions

as above, i wouldn't keep my BNs with any other pleco even if they are twice the size, i've heard far too many horror stories of BNs bullying fish 3x bigger than themselves.
If it was just the pictus and rainbows i'd suggest something like L200 green phantom or L264 Sultan, nice medium size plecs that are fairly hardy and not too fussy like Gold Nuggets or there are plenty of nice Peckoltias out there B-)

so not a pleco then...
.. lol sorry, others may share different stories but my limited experience so far is the mid sized/fancy plecs are usually the ones that hide all day as they are more timid, bigger plecs have nothing to fear so will generally cruise at leisure, plus its not so easy for them to hide, my experience may be in part because i provide my Plecs LOTS of hiding spaces and cover to keep stress to a minimum
for example the 2 plecs i mentioned earlier Phantom and Sultan, i may see a slither of tail on occasion but it can be many days between sightings unless i purposely move their favourite slate to gain a better view, which i'm obviously against, but i'm content to know they are there and happy, others prefer their caves all pointing forwards so they constantly have a view of their Hypans bottom, its personal choice.
