Yep, I picked up 8 of them yesterday from Specer over at http://www.cichlaholic.com/
I also picked up a group of 5 Gymnogeophagus sp. norte These cichlids were only discovered a few years back and there are very few in Canada, so i feel pretty lucky about being able to get my hands on some. Now just hope they will grow to be as pretty as teh fish below.

Okay back to the plecos. All arrived in one big back with 2 heater packs, AWESOME. I did an acclimatization over about 2-3 hours to their new home in a 125 gallon tank. Looks like I have 2-3 males and the rest female another plus :). They are all about 3-3.5 inch and are what i believe could be sexually mature seeing that it is very easy to distinguish the males from the females.
All of them seem very healthy and they have even been picking at some zuccini over the past 18 hours or so also which amazed me.
Anyhow hopefully I can get these guys to breed in the future :) Will post up some photos shortly.
