Anyone have any info or own a Hypostomus luteus? Are they just pretty much like commons in terms of care and feeding? What's the price range on the little guys?
 
They like cooler temps like low to mid 70s. Feeding just like any other plecos,waffers, veggies, wood is good too. Price wise they are worth wahtever someone is willing to pay.
 
I heard there are 3 different grades for the luteus with all gold being the most desirable followed by the gold/green color variant with gold being the dominant color. their habitats are brazil & argentina. when they're juveniles @ 3-4" they resemble gold nugget plecos to a degree. they do best in cool water
