I am currently in the process of growing up some bushynosed plecos with the hope of one day breeding them. I am lucky enough to have a LFS that has a good breeder contact so they get them in the 1-1.5" size every few weeks and sell them for $8 (or sometimes cheaper because I am in there so much) the only problem now is the waiting so that I can sex them. I have always loved plecs so hopefully I will be breeding in a year or two.

They are still very small, but I believe (hope) they are L183 they look a lot like this even though thy are small.
