Title: New pleco order just arrived!
Post by: Steve on September 23, 2014, 05:23:47 PM
Just got an order of new plecos dropped off by the Fex Ex man about an hour ago. Got turned on to this place by Jon last week called Fresh Water Exotics and to say I am pleased with the order would an understatement. The service was top notch, the fish arrived quadruple bagged packed tightly with heat pack and just great packaging, and the quality of plecos are just amazing.

There's two L260's (only took pic of one since they are identical).....an L177 (Gold Nugget) and a L200 (Green Phantom) that is really good size at about 5 1/2"

It's always like Christmas when a box of new fish shows up ;D

L260 are cool but I've heard they are a pain to get to eat good.

They sent a sample of what he has been eating which are some soft type sticks so I'm going to get some more of that for him if he doesn't like what I have.

Good deal then! I like how they didn't leave you in the dark on that.

Yep I am really pleased with this place. From first contact to order arriving it was probably one of the best ordering experience I have had to date with fish that had to be shipped. I'm already making a big list of larger pleocs that I plan to order for the 265g when it's up and running ;D

Yes that was one of the larger types I was looking at (L114) plus also looking at Goldie (L014) Vampire (L29) And Royal Sunshine (L253). Still have lots more reading up on those before I decide what would or would not work, but those are on the long list as of now.
