I'm going to have to order a fancy plec because none of the lfs have any that I like. I think I'm going to order one from here http://www.exoticfinds.net/index.html Anyone ordered from this guy before?

I've narrowed down my list and wanted to see which plec would be better for my tank. Its a 38 gallon heavily planted with driftwood and I am going to be getting a couple of caves soon. I want a plec to help with algae, food scraps etc. I've narrowed it down to these:

Leopard Frog L134
Flash L204
Sultan L264
Orange Spot LDA31
Snowball LDA33
Gold Nugget L81

Anyone have any preferences as to which one would be better?

The L134 is the best one for eating algae on your list, and stays well under 5 inches.

Blue (exotic) is a bit on the high $ side, and don't expect any extra surprises in the box. But with him you do get what you pay for. As far as I can remember he is one of the only on-line plec sellers that QTs all new comers before he will sell them. He also makes sure they are eating well ect ect. I believe he holds them for a minimum of 3 weeks.

I've bought plecs from him before and I was very pleased with his shipping methods.

Ok thanks. My absolute favorite was the gold nugget that I had, but it was a L18 :( It was gorgeous though, and its spots were so bright. I wish the L81's looked more like them, but their spots are so tiny. I found a lfs store near me that says he can get some exotic plecs, so I am going to call him on Monday. He can also get German blue rams :) If he can't get them then I will probably order from that guy. I still like the LDA31's though :confused:

Anyone have a mango pleco? I've been checking them out and they are gorgeous, if only I had a tank big enough ;)
