Warborg has a good memory. I also remember blue eye plecos for $40 and full grown zebra plecos for around the same price. 2 inch zebras were only $18 in the 90’s. $40 was still a lot for a pleco back then as there wasn’t much interest. African cichlids and Discus were hot back then, not plecos. Prices completely flipped now...Discus are dirt cheap and plecos skyrocketed.
$300 for a healthy blue eye is a fair deal since they were close to a $1000 not long ago
