Looling for l397

[Plecocrazy1989]

Does any one know where I can get a few l397 plecos in the United states.

They've been appearing on aquabid recently, but they're pricey.

[Plecocrazy1989]

Ok thank you. I wish this was Australia. 30 bucks

[bekateen]

I know. Close to the same in Europe.

[Plecocrazy1989]

What's the average price your seeing in the states?

[bekateen]

Aquabid is the only place I've seen them, $900 for 5 fish.

Hi folks as this has come up a lot recently with you folks in us and canada. As i have a group I hope to breed am trying to out source some females as i want to mix up bloodlines further to keep producing good quality fish. I've currently been looking into how to go about exporting and laws rules reguations and licencing ect as in uk demand is low although you wouldn't believe me is not that high. But I only get this impression as the guy I got mine from has loads unsold that are now almost adults. My progress in gathering info so far is i need to have a licence which is free but i'm still in very early stages of investigations obviously there's a few here on PC that could guide me well on this subject and my theory is if they come from south America the can be sent back again if there's a will there's a way even fish from online retailers here are packed the day before and take around 24 hrs to arrive I'm not out to gain from this although i could and if found to be feasible option it wouldn't be more than the going rate for a fish here.

I hope you figured out how to ship them. They are seeming really hard to find!

Apparently are expensive and hard to find but shipping can be also but for the amount of people that want them shipping maybe less than buying a an exported group for each person in us/canada i will do all the investigations i can and ask around here on the forums keep me updated if you guys come up with anything
