Want-to-Buy: L260 Queen Arabesque plecos. Really looking for the impossible-to-find female, but will also take juveniles and unsexed groups in hopes of a female or two. Tank-raised preferred; or pre-ban WC fish. Express shipping to Indiana unless you happen to be local for pick-up.
Please send me a private message if you have something available.
Also, I'm new to this forum but have several long-standing memberships elsewhere with buyer/seller feedback that you can review. Feel free to ask me for those sites/username if needed as "reference".
Thanks!

I'm selling a WC L260 male for $150
he's $125 at the GCCA swap meet on the 18th if you can come up and pick him up by then. The swap will be in Elk Grove, IL though. I don't know whereabouts in IN you're from.
I can also meet/deliver if you really want this fella for gas money only.
4'' male from head to tip of tail though. He was purchased before the ban, and I have yet have not found an adult female for him as I do have too many other species I'm focusing on.
I have to find the USB connector thingy so I can upload the photos everyone has been waiting for as I'm trying to severely cut out the number of species I have in the tanks and focus exclusively on those other species.

Wow! Thank you so much to folks who've contacted me. I've made one purchase as a result.
I'd be interested still in a group with hopes of getting any females. Or, it'd be nirvana to get an identified female. I know - females are probably impossible to find, but it doesn't hurt to try! I've got breeding in mind as an end-goal, and also trying to obtain from a couple different sources to strive toward unrelated pairing to keep those genes strong.
Thanks again!

You should check AB quickly. There is a pair for sale, from a very respectable seller. Good luck.

Hey there. If you are still looking for 260s, I have a friend in Calif that is closing down his fish room. He has 3WC adult males and @ WC adult females plus some fry he is looking to move. If you are still looking, PM me and I will put you in touch with him. Good luck.
Dan.
