Large growing pleco

[ElectricBlueSeanBurch]

In my 220 CA/SA i have:
1 13" L-001
1 6" L-191
1 4" L-152

I plan to add a L-330 eventually (6-8")
and a L-155 (2")
I know the 155's get huge, I had one and watched it grow up to about 12", and then i lost it and several other pleco's in a heater tragedy. I am slowly rebuilding my collection (slowly because I have taken a recent interest in large cichlids)

I'm looking for 10"+ pleco's only. I want 1 or 2 more. please no L-24 or L-25 suggestions unless it includes a link to where I can buy one. I prefer atleast a reasonable growth rate, unlike my L-191...the only thing growing slower than him is my wealth...4" in 3 years. It has to be able to survive with the cichlids, other pleco's and "Doug" the fire eel.

The tank has a 55 gallon sump full of bio @1200gph and a magnum 350 with the poret foam mod, so im not woried about bio load

Any ideas guys?

you know my suggestion after the L-001 is going to be an L-083

i was also just thinking you can usually find l-095 at a large size. i usually see them running around $150 for a 12-14" adult which may be a good choice for you depending on budget. one of my favorite looking plecos although i've never owned one personally.

Look for a Zucchini pleco. Despite what PC says they can grow to 30inches

So many options. Acanthicus adonis is my #1 choice for big plecos. LDA65, L083, L047, L114, L027, L090, and most of the species in the genera: Megalancistrus, Hypostomus, Pterygoplicihthys, Glyptoperichthys, and Pseudacanthicus.
