I just found these at a fish shop for a great price. But I am not sure what L number they are. I will try and get some better pictures.<br><br>Image

I got them for less than that. I got them in canada for around $78 for all 4, and that was CANADIAN!

Hi!

Yes it seems to be a L81 could also be a possibility!!

I agree with L18/81. It is said to be the same species.

lemonlimecola, I'm sorry to hear that they charge such a ridiculous price for those out there. Here they run about $25 for a 1-2 incher. But maybe that's just the luck of being near L.A., as I hear it's a major fish hub.
So many catfish, so little space, and so little money. Do banks let you take loans to buy fish?

Curious as to where you have seen them at that price....I live in the area and have been to pretty much every fish/pet store in the DC/VA/MD area....and have never seen them sold at such a high price. Average is $40, you see them for anywher from $20-$50, sometimes more for size. For anyone to sell them at $100+, they would have to be adults, or no one would ever purchase them...Are you sure you aren't thinking of goldies?
