sounds about right... where was it?

did it look like this?
If so its a Blue spot plec - L128

The name's (blue spotted) 'plecostomus' That's a beautiful fish there. Be very careful if you are considering buying any kind of plec - many get very large and a lot also require wood (ie: driftwood or bogwood) in their diet and most are territorial so need to be kept singly and fed primarily on veggies or pleco tablets and other sinking foods. Basicaly, make sure you know what you're buying

Which means very shy and nocturnal - so be prepared to hardly ever see them !

£45 for a tiny juvie is a bit much I think.....

Wholesale Tropicals (in London) have them in every few months and large adults barely command that price.

I think i might go to this wholesales place-
My L-14 is nocturnal which can be a bit annoying but he has started to change his ways at feeding time :
