As far as plecos go, I have larger 8-10" common pleco, and a 3" chocolate pleco. I spent hours on planet catfish looking at all the L- things. I got pretty interested. I will definatly get a green phantom and a royal. the lfs hass 1" magos, but doesn't know it, they don't have much color, but i can see the yellow lining. i can pick the up for only a couple bucks and grow them out.
