Hello. I am looking to buy a beautiful pleco. I understand the difficulty in finding less common varieties, so I have constructed a list of a few that I like, in hopes of having a better chance in finding one.
If anyone knows of a place or person selling any of these, I would really appreciate the information.

The list:

Blue Medusa pleco L034, or a Spotted Medusa L255
Red Fin Cactus pleco L024
King Galaxy pleco
Lyretail pleco
Queen Aribesque pleco

Thank you
 
L024, you will have a super hard time finding one. If you do, you are very lucky and be willing to pay 500+ for small one. These are harder to find than L25 scarlet, IMO.
Lyre tail.. not sure about this.. I have adonis with very long lyre tail, i've also seen royal papa with lyre tail..
queen arabesque are nice but not as easy to find and they are also expensive
I'd say L114 if you can find them in your area also L91. Aquabid is good place to look, there are very reputable seller there.

Good luck
 
Two thoughts. Queen arabesque is L260. There is a very similar pleco, L411; these are supposedly easier to breed than L260. If you still want L260, check out planetcatfish.com (wanted/for sale).
Second, come to the catfish convention:

Great way to learn more about plecos, and buy plecos. Vendors will be coming to sell their plecos, and there may be some for sale at the auction.
