Yea, my pleco is a "common" pleco. Hes a big beautiful boy and hes my favorite. I have no intentions of breeding him because there are so many common plecos sold at pet stores and people have no idea what to do with them. I've heard of people killing them because they have outgrown their tank. Those that know a lot about plecos want the fancy pretty ones. It's almost like breeding common american shorthair cats. KWIM?
