Rare as a L46?

Post by Ancistrus »

I was talking to a member here last night, we where talking about plecos. He told me that he had a very rare Cory that was rediscovered last year? He has three but I just wanted to know a little bit more about them. Any links to pics and so on would be great.

I'm not sure if this is the cory he meant, but a couple years ago the was rediscovered and fetched quite a high price.

Not Quite As Rare

Post by Coryologist »

Greetings. Seeing as how an adult L046 can fetch upwards of $400 and an adult C. weitzmani costs about $25 - I don't think I'd put them quite in the same league. Additionally, I have spawned C. weitzmani over a dozen times and my L046's do nothing but make goo-goo eyes at one another. :( - Frank
