They are amazing fish, and as i found out they can take a more alkaline and moderately hard water parameter than most hypans and fancy plecos. So they'd be perfect for my tank! I thought it was about time to start keeping something a bit rarer and more expensive than bristlenoses
I found a decent deal on aquabid for $45 each. i just hope i get the winning bid. They're young juvies from a breeder, which is good because I wouldn't want to buy wild caught fish and have them not eat or have trouble adapting to my parameters. or just the general stress of being wild caught.
Thanks for the source! I'll check that out.
