isn't that an L128 (Blue Phantom)?
they could change from dark blue...to that translucent blue green color...depends on the mood of the pleco...and sometimes the lighting of the tank.

Coelacanth,
I am sure you meant L 128 from Colombia and Venezuela ! These come from the upper Orinoco that forms the Colombian/Venezuelan border. I would guess that 99% of exports originate in Colombia since it is illegal to export fishes from Venezuela.

Erm...yes. It IS late over here, I've had some wine, and I temporarily forgot that it is illegal to export fish from Ven. Bit like I don't actually have Uaru fernandezyepezi downstairs, and they definitely DIDN'T come from Venezuela.........Shane wrote:Coelacanth,

Graeme,
They sell locally for about US $5.00 to $6.00 each although you might pay up to $7.00 for a large one (over six inches). I picked up two last weekend (around five inches each) because they had a strange color pattern with very large white dots extending onto the caudal fin. I paid around US $12.00 for the pair.

So the obvious questions come to mind, can you export? Occasionally I'll see them for $25 @ wholesalers, but up here in MN the LFS constantly want $50+ for L128 & L200Shane wrote:Graeme,

Now that i think about it, it's probably good that plecos cost as much as they do up here, otherwise I'd be likely to empty out the Amazon
