LFS has what appears to be one of these, sold as Pseudacanthicus Yellow spot. I would like to know how big they get--it has doubled in size during the two months they've had it.

Both Datz and the Aqualog says around 40 cm (16").

I thought it might be a big one. The problem is, it costs the equivalent of $250 U.S.

They are expensive here too but not so expensive...just over 100$.

I have an L282, about 8 inches or so...definitely has yellow spots
The vamp plec L240 has similar spots which are white

Sounds like a nice fish Stuey. I agree I wish you were not so far away because I would probably buy a couple from you! Nice corresponding with you anyway. If you ever go to N.Y.C. let me know.

is this a L282 (King galaxy cactus pleco)??
Is it really true that they grow to be 40cm long?!?!
in that case I won't be able to keep mine cuz i've only got a 350l aqarium...
I've got 3 of them.
the male is about 17cm long and the two females are about 16cm.
how much are they worth??

I think that's actually L007 (Leporacanthicus galaxias). L282 has a rougher, bristly skin.
