Gold nugget pleco

I know nothing about plecos, but I noticed that my lfs got in 2 gold nuggets the other day. They're kinda pretty and I was wondering what you guys thought of them.

Heres an article on Gold Nuggets http://www.myfishtank.net/forum/bottomfeeder-discussion/30317-maintenance-gold-nuggets-fancy-plecs-general.htmlI think that Gold Nuggets are some of the coolest looking Plecos.

Try to figure out what L-number that are before you look into buying them. I believe it's the L81 and L177 that stay small; 5-7 inches or so, while the L18 gets fairly larger at ~14". Check out the pictures on planetcatfish and see if you can identify it.

actually only one of the L #s stays small the other 2 get pretty large. The size and numbers of the spots is one easy way to get an idea of what it is.
