As they say in Real estate...Location, Location, Location. Australians pay a fortune for fish. I think $40.00 for a fish is crazy. Most expensive loricariid I ever saw in Colombia was $7.00 retail. I have been in the States and Canada checking out fish retailers for the last week and can not believe the prices! That said, in South America I did not have access to 1% of the filters, lights, foods, tanks, etc that you can get in North America.

L numbers
Yan,
Here in Australia, except for the loricariads that we have been breeding here prior to 1982, most of the "L" number fish cost AU$300 or more. Just last week L262 were $600 in Brisbane. So if they are a definate pair for $1,000 is a good buy. But at that size, less than half grown, I doubt that any one could sex them 100%. Your call Wall !!
At that size I would not consider buying less than 5 fish. The odds are against a pair.

When life gives you lemons ask for a bottle of tequila & salt.
The only danger I find in life is to take too many precautions, some people walk in the rain, others just get wet.

I sold some 262s for the equivalent of US$ 14.30 each. The Philippine peso right now is PHP 56.00 to US$ 1.00. We even find that amount to a bit expensive what more some something that costs over 1,000 be it Australian or US dollars! I have one 262 left though and I am glad that no one else wanted to buy it. Oh well maybe later on....
