The link has gone but when you read it, it says Ancistrus blue seam. Didn't get much on google under that name so googled blue seam plec. Is this it?

Ancistrus cf. hoplogenys (Blue Seam Bushynose Pleco, Blue Fin Bushymouth Pleco)

Here's where I got the pic from.

Try on planetcatfish.com, would have had a look myself but I can't get on...

its a L183 white seamed b/n size about 4-5 inchs
i have 4 in with other plecs their pretty shy only comming out to feed
they require soft water ph 6.0-7.0 ,plenty of hiding places, tempshould be over 80
i have plenty of bogwood in my tank and they seem to love it
thes fish are hard to find in the uk the only shop i no that has them is pier aquatics in wigan

What he said

Likewise I have 4 kept in very similar conditions

I'd been looking for years and also got them from Pier

i take it that i have no chance of finiding one then, can anoybody reccomend a plec that doesnt grow bigger than 5.5inch and is nice to look at i wanted black and white pref but i see now i have no chance finiding one,

 

[windy 1958]

have you thought of L201 L333 L066 L260 L270 and there is still a few more that dont grow to more than 5inchs
