Where is a good source, places you'd reccomend, to buy more exotic plecos online? By more exotic I mean different than the petco/petsmart normal plecs. Thanks for the help
Purchasing fish

Define exotic, what kind of pleco do you in mind? There is nothing better than seeing the fish in person before purchasing it. I personally pickup all my WC breeders in person.
Exotic in this sence just means not albino brushy nose, clown pleco, or common pleco. Right now im thinking about a male brushy nose. Im just not a fan of albinos. Still trying to make up my mind tho. Id really rather buy in person too, but I dont know of any place around me that sells different kinds than the ones listed earlier
If you are looking for ancistrus, they are much easier to find in person since most breed like roaches. Try asking the LFS maybe they will surprise you with the selection of different color varieties like green dragon, red, calico, blue eye, etc.
You could also check for any clubs in your area. We're lucky enough to have a large Cichlid club here that runs almost a half dozen fish swaps a year, where you can buy just about anything.
I'm not a fan of craigslist, but that could also be an option.

I don't think there is any clubs around me, but I've found some cool fish stores in the neighboring counties around me
