How does the Luteus rank with big plecos (over 10" adults) as far as beauty and rarity? What beats it in that size category?

you dont see them around all the time, not that many people have them but they are not really rare, a lot of places prob could get them ordered in. i think they are a beautiful plec, when younger, look kinda like a Gold Nugget, and later go this fabulous yellow colour. my favourite thing about them are the fins, especially the dorsal. they look great. i'd get one if i found one in the shop i think.
Size wise, a lot of things beat them. if you like the colouring of the luteus, theres the L014 goldie, which gets to a similar size. GN's get to be a few inches bigger. then there are any number of other plecs like L025, some royals, gibbys, commons, adonis, histrix etc...

I too would buy the luteus if I found it. Great pleco, but not anywhere near the biggest. LDA65 takes that one.
luteus is a superb plec but quite expensive. bigger specimens go for a 1000 euro here and smaller (up to 25 cm) for 700 euro. thats even more expensive than a blue eye...
I have loved this pleco since i first seen it a year or two ago but i have no chance in getting one here. I would give it 100 out of 100.
i have a luteus available for 750 it is over 13 inchea and gorgeous i have pics but im not good at these web rules
