[AquaticLife] pleco’s
Honestly I would take what I could get if they were healthy and shipped right. I have my own fed ex account so you wouldn’t have to worry about anything except putting my account number in for the billing information 
I don’t know anything about shipping fish though so I will have to wait till I have more confidence in it For one thing right now is a very bad time to ship anything, LOL. Perhaps later this winter or early spring. Considering the prices on the smaller pleco’s I think bushy nose pleco’s might be the better way to go, all the other’s (on this site at least) seem higher priced from what I can see (except the candy stripe pleco which is currently on sale on liveaquaria.com, heh).
