I am looking for 3-5 bushy nosed plecos. I have a 55G and a 30G I want to use them in. Babies, adults, whatever the size is great!!

I want them from a good breeder with good fish care ethics, and someone who treats them for disease or knows they will be clean when their clients receive them. I'm certain I will have no shortage of that here!! :D

I only ship airport to airport... but, for pleco's overnight might be worth the risk on a certain carrier...

Ryan,

Thanks! Actually, that is my reference for buying these guys.

The people in Brazil have never steered me wrong on their id of a fish especially the pleco's.... It can get a little tricky when there are multiple morphs and the same L number.

I will post pics when they come in on MOnday.

I've never shipped fish before. I've got some in my tank from around 3/4" to what looks like a new batch! :shocked: (if that is the case this will be at least 3 since Christmas! :shocked:) That male never leaves that cave and is just cranking them out! Maybe I should remove one of the females:p At this rate maybe I should learn about shipping :).

If anyone in Northern California has Albino BN Catfish/Pleco's available please let me know. I will come by and pick up a few. I'm starting my first Discus tank and after doing a lot of reading on this forum I think I'll use a few of these along with a few Nerite Snails and Red Cherry Shrimp as my clean up crew in a 65 gallon planted tank. My only worry is that the adult Discus may eat the RCS.

New to the hobby and the community. Really appreciate all the info here and look forward to the 2x challenge of starting a high tech planted tank (step 1) and then stocking it with 6 adult Discus (step 2) over the coming months.

Not sure if you have found what you have been looking for, but I have some long fin albino bushies that the females are holding eggs. I don't have any caves in the tank with or any hiding places for them, the tank is my grow out tank. If you are still in need let me know. I also have some short fin blue/black eyes along with some short fin black bushies too. I have all shipping supplies ready so I can ship to anyone within the US
