Blue theme, looking for a fitting pleco

Hi there!

I'm currently scaping a pretty dark tank. Black and grey background, black soil and dark grey caves all around the tank. It sounds dark and damp, but the idea is to have it lit up with 6500K-10000K LED lights, a very bright lightning, with alot of plants and then use colorful fishes. Right now, the plan is for 2+2 Mikrogeophagus Ramirezi (Electric Blue) and maybe a handful of Rasbora Birgittae to break with some red.

Now, I want a pleco too. The tank is 160-liters, so what I'm looking for is a colorful blue varieti, that doesn't grow into a monster. Any ideas what can be used? I prefer a light blue, but a darker one works too

Beautiful! Easy to get ahold of in Europe?

There is no such thing as a light or metallic blue pleco. But there is a dark blue one.

L239 (Baryancistrus beggini) would be the one.

I've seen them for sale at a couple of shops in the UK.

I'm looking for a swedish breeder, but importing from the UK is an option if it's a good speciment

I saw a nice group of 4 in Abyss in Stockport this afternoon. They're not especially hard to find in the UK, but I don't know what the Swedish fish trade is like I'm afraid.
