Looking for Places, $300 Budget

[Arthur12]

Here is the story, I am in need for 6-8 Plecos that will go into 4 different tanks. Some could be four of them 1.5-2" range and the rest I would like to be 3-4". I have been browsing aquabid and and a little overwhelmed with all the choices. All of my tanks have ph of 7.2-7.4. I have Rhinos so thats out.

I really like L397 but those would eat up my budget quick.
Also L129, Phantoms, L 201, Zebras

Lets hear some suggestions.

I meant Plecos, autocorrect got me...

Is there a way for me to edit subject, or can a mod do it?

What sized tanks would they be going into? Knowing this may very well influence the answers we give.

Here are a few different type of plecs that I am selling at this time to give you some ideas of what is out there. Aquabid is a good place to look and forums are another.

along with tank size we need tankmates. also wetspot is a great source for plecos

Depending on what part of the country you are in may there are a lot of reliable places to get plecs from...... tangled up in cichlids, Pleco Paradise, and Freshwater exotics to name a few. I haven't bough from Tangled up in Cichlids but the rest I have and gotten good fish from. If you are on the east cost area they would be cheaper as far as shipping goes west coast Wetspot may work better for you........

Or come to the Catfish Convention if DC isn’t too far away. http://www.catfishcon.com/

Thanks for all the replies. My aquarium sizes are 29gl, 32gl, 2x 40gl, 175gl, 225gl. The stock is Native fish. Some of the aquariums are just minnows with no threat to Plecos, other tanks have Bass, Gar and Sunfish. Only my 225gl has adult fish over 10" and I'm not needing Plecos for that tank. All the other tanks fish max out around 6" length.
