When you say sucking fish? Do you mean sucking loaches or common pleco? Google them and let us know

If its the sucking loach you might be okay but still need to know which ones as the commonly traded ones range between 4-12 inches in size can we get a picture at all? For now though I will take it as being a smaller growing one. I think a nice school of harlequin rasbora would look nice in there maybe 10-12 and you could get some dwarf chain loaches for the bottom. That would be a nice group of asian fish Cherry barbs could work as well.

Obviously you have a lot of the tetra types from South American waters and the various cory cats as well

I think with having the big pearls in there I would not add any more feature fish like gourami or cichlids as there may be some territory issues. And with having the 4/5inchers in there I would say stick to them.
