I would have put Panaque cochliodon as #2.
Seeing the zebra pleco so low in this video surprised me. They were the most wanted/prestigious pleco when I first got into plecos. P. cochliodon was still #2.
I think I’m going to do a separate post breaking down the cost of these fish and such. I also want to know when/how Hypostomus luteus got so popular.
Finally, I can’t get the thought of Hypostomus luteus as the color of a yellow highlighter marker (phase 3) out of my head. “Oh yeah, the expensive yellow highlighter marker of the pleco world.”
