leopard acanthicus L114 are available at sweetknowle there £65 delivered for 1 7-9cm quite expensive have you looked at L075 para pleco/peckolitia sabaji there nice looking but only around 11" or if you want something even larger around 15" the L330 panaque is nice or pseudacanthicus sp L024 red fin cactus pleco there about 12" quite expensive but worth it

ill check them out too. i have seen a cactus plec and thought it was very nice and a bit different. sweet knowle is about an hour from me so maybe i need to re visit them and have another look

Mat how big do you want it full grown?.... A really nice addition would be an L114 very similar to L25 but stays considerably smaller and very easy to obtain and at very good prices.

L25 has the potential to become a very large fish so it may actually be much bigger than you really want. Where as the 114 really should max out at around 12-14 inches ish.

Hi Jake,

fully grown i would want it about the 12 inch mark or as big as possible really in the tank size. i know there are many great looking plecs out there but its finding 1 you like then finding it for sale....
ill check the 114 out, thanks for the tip

I think the 114 in that case would match your criteria perfect and they are a stunning species and quite easy to obtain.

WOW!!, that is expensive for a 114 lol, tbh you shop around you should find the same or similar size for around £30 maybe cheaper, Jo (Matt knows who i mean) was selling them at £24.99 quite recently.

Other species you mentioned are all very stunning plecs , i would say the 330 is a little large to be fair, potential for 20+ inches, does grow very slow so would actually work quite well long term, L24 will be hard to find at any sort of decent price, again size is more like 15 inches+ but again would suit superbly but if your willing to have the price tag standing in your way.

Overall though some absolutely stunning plecs been suggested .

the L114 is stunning
I had a 9 inch one that was very fat, possibly my best ever plec if you search on here you;ll see my pics of it from aboput 2 yrs ago
theres a guy on classifieds selling L25 Scarlet Pseudoacnthicus leopardus for £110 which could well be a very expensive L114!!!
