Is it just my area or have Gold Nugget Plecos become extremely hard to find? I have been looking at every local fish store near me and no one has anything but common plecos which will definitely not work in my 20 gallon tank. I asked one guy who worked at the fish store and he said they aren't even on his list where he could special order one and that they may be becoming endangered. Is this true at all?
If I can't find one, what other small plecos would you suggest for a 20 gallon tank? (I had a clown pleco but he died from unknown causes and the store where I got him doesn't have anything but commons now either).
And if I can't find anything in my area, what online retailers do you suggest? The only one I am very familiar with is Live Aquaria. I'm just trying to save this option as a last resort because of the shipping and the fact that I don't need anyting other than the pleco so the shipping wouldn't be way too expensive at this time.
