Possible candidates:

Corydoras (such as the more common ones like bronze corys)
Bristlenoses (Ancistrus).

couple of easy breedable cats:

#1: Ancistrus cf temmincki aka Common Bristlenose and it's cultivated forms (albino, longfin etc)
#2: Corydoras paleatus and it's cultivated forms (ditto)
#3: Corydoras aeneus aka Bronze Cory (also C "schultzei" etc)
#4: Megalechis personata aka Kwi Kwi
#5: Ancistrus spp L 144

a bit more difficult:
#5: Synodontis multipunctatus with a proper (victorian or malawian) cichlid host.
#6: Sturisoma cf "aureum"
#7: Synodontis "petricola dwarf"
#8: Lophiobagrus spp
#9: Holosternum littorale and H punctatum
#10: Rhineloriacaria sp "red".
Plan B should not automatically be twice as much explosives as Plan A
