I recently lost a clown pleco (because my ex-landlord was very, VERY inconsiderate and thoughtless) and i'm pretty broken up about it--i had her for six years. When i researched plecos this time around, it looked like the goby and/or pitbull pleco (Parotocinclus jumbo, LDA025) was a good fit for me and the new tank i just cycled, which is smaller than my last one and has finer substrate. Part of the reason i want the LDA025 is irrational though... i also have real four-legged pit bulls whom i love dearly, so when i was narrowing it down that kind of made up my mind. <3
My LFS can't order any, and i usually only buy through them because i trust them to choose vendors with ethical, humane, and environmentally sound methods of collecting and/or raising fish. But in this one case, i've kind of got my heart set on trying a fish they don't have. I've never bought fish online so i'm not sure if my hamfisted Googling means there really are none for sale, or i just don't know where to look. I hoped you all would have some advice.
