Sailfins starting (i think) at $80 at petland in phillip for 8-10cm but that was a little while ago, I will have to have a look at the farrows at redtree next time i am in the area :)

Just saw 4 L204s in Melbourne go for $2200 on an aussie fish forum, and the post was only hours old. Looks like they are in very high demand, but they are availiable to buy if you get lucky.

I missed out on the 4 for sale regrettably, Flash pleco's are very hard to come by and the cheapest I've seen them is for sale by MIKEW months ago on www.plecofanatics.com Australian classifieds - $375 ea @ 3-4cm. Amazing Amazon in Melbourne had some and may ship but they were going for $595 @ 4cm or thereabouts!!!!!!
Good luck with your search - if you find any please pm me on plecofanatics - same username.
Cheers.
