Pseudacanthicus 'Yellow Spot' = L282?

Post by Chrysichthys »

LFS has a Pseudacanthicus 'Yellow Spot' 10 cm in length for the equivalent of U.S. $300.

This is the most expensive pleco I have seen for its size. It seems to match L282 in ICoSA, and definitely does look like a Pseudacanthicus.

Is L282 really that expensive, and how big does it get? If it's a real monster it might be worth it.

Any photo on it?

I think the special individual may be worth of USD300. Anyway, too expensive.

The critter looks just like that, but with yellow spots. L282 was my guess based on ICoSA. The LFS's edition of Aqualog doesn't go that high, and the Transfish website doesn't have a photo.
