Wild caught Ls fresh off IBAMA export ban list

[discusorigins]

The Brazilian Ministry of Environment and Renewable Natural Resources (IBAMA) has recently just taken these Plecos (L-numbers) off the export ban list. These are now legal to export for the time being out of Brazil and could be again closed at anytime or due to the building of the Belo Monte dam which is sure to wipe out most of their natural habitat.

I am new to this forum my Brazilian wild discus supplier sent me an availability list so I'm posting them on this forum for any interested collectors. My sponsor page is 'http://forum.simplydiscus.com/forumdisp ... la-Florida' if anyone is interested.

What this tells me is that I have not been charging enough for my F1's! $100 for 333's?

[discusorigins]

LOL....maybe need to bump those up

No seriously, I know of several breeders who are selling F1 L333s, so the price for the 1-1.5" size is pretty much market established. These are wild caught F0 adults at 3-4" in size and the price reflects so.

After several months of waiting I finally have a confirmed list of availability and will be importing some of the now legal plecos towards the end of March. I had to find new suppliers as the original one never came thru with any further information. Sizing and pricing has changed obviously because of new supplier and all of the plecos with the exception of the L273 will be over 10cm in size. So these will not be the 6-8cm size originally quoted.

There are only limited quantities at this time. So whoever sends me payment first will have priority, that is the only way I can be fair to everyone. If for some reason this falls thru again I will refund the payments immediately. Pricing is currently a close estimation, I won't know of exact pricing until I have a shipping quote....and I can't have a shipping quote until I know what quantity to order from your responses. But at the most I would see maybe a $25/fish increase, hopefully I am pretty close in my guesstimate and there wont be any change at all to pricing.

The L27 has been confirmed as L27 Xingu.
