who is doing these super white plecos??

[Magnum Man]

I'm assuming these are a domestic breeder, I've been trying to get a few of these long fin, super white, bushy noses, for quite a while, that one of the suppliers I use gets a few in, occasionally... they are always small size, and the weather hasn't been cooperating, lately... I'm thinking they are not farmed, as they aren't widely available... they aren't albino, they are blue eyed, super white, long fins... 2 arrived yesterday, cold... one DOA, the other is in hiding... this one with the black spot on the tail, didn't make it, but had good looks... just curious if anyone else had seen these???

the seller issued me a credit, but of course is out of them again... seems like they maybe get them in, in small numbers, like 10 at a time... I have one tank that is darker, that I think these guys would look awesome in... just may take a little work to get a few established...

Thats one of the better looking plecos.
Do you have a link for those? I might be interested in them once I fill my 40g.
How big do they get?

Those plecos look so beautiful. I currently have a a normal bristle nose in my tank.

@connorlindeman .... well since I lost one of the last order of these, they just called me and asked if I wanted replacements... they just got them in, they have to go through quarantine yet, but I have 3 with my name on right now... I was right, that they only get a few in at a time... I was told they received 5, going into quarantine, and 3 have my name on... but they are not listed for sale yet on their website... when they are cleared for shipping, and I'm allowed to actually order them, I can post that here...

I appreciate that. I hope my 40g is ready by then.

they took my order for the 3 of these, said they would be off of quarantine on Wednesday, so they should be listed on their website on Wednesday or Thursday

well, a total of 4 now in this tank, so hoping at least a few will establish
