Cactus as in L-65, or as in L-114? I'd bet on 114, as L-65 is super rare. If it's an L-114, here is the answers to your questions.:

They grow under 1 foot, lots of wood, good with other top/mid swimming fish and aggressive to other simillar bottom dwellers. Cost depends on size.

These are very cool plecos. I had one that beat up my L-25 which is also called a cactus pleco. The L-25 is rarer than the L-114 these days but both I like a LOT. Google pseudocanthicus plecos and see the other l numbers also. Most of these guys are on the pleco ban except the L-114. If you look hard enough you can find them. Like was said price is determined by size. An L-114 anywhere from $30 to $140 give or take a few bucks. L-114 can be real tough guys with other plecos.
