Yes as was stated cactus plecos are cool but slow growers . Plus they hide all the time. You will not find an L-24 and my 8 inch (who is not 11 inch) L-114 cost me $405 bucks with shipping from aquascape.com 3 years ago. At this size though they never hide much. Check out an L-14 sunshine pleco they are very colorful and grow faster than the cactus IMO and are very active even in the daytime.
