I've got a small group of L066 pleco's and I was wondering if anyone could recommend any tank mates that might help bring them out of their shell a little, I've had them for just iver two months and I hardly ever see then.
I'm running the tank at around 29/30°, a bit of a current but not too bad although I might need to up it a little further down the line... so any suggest for what likes it hot, a bit of a flow and ideally not too bothered about plants although I can add some more in the one end.

Lemon tetras would work, same river system and like movement in the water.

Lemons can take it warm, as can emperors, rummies, cardinals and blackskirts.
Depends what contrast you want to the tigers.

Can I ask why you have your tank at 29/30°, isn't that a bit too warm?
Looking at Planet Catfish they recommend a tank water temperature of between 25-29°C.
I would be inclined to gradually reduce the temperature to 26°C and then go from there.
All the best
