The Most Desirable Pleco

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Yeah, hopefully the price on zebras will come down, and we will find an alternate source of fuel, cause the prices in moscow are ridiculous. There is a zebra breeder up in spokane, but man does she want a lot of cash!
 
Wouldn't it be great to walk into a crappy LFS and find a zebra pleco for $1.99 marked as a zebra danio? I know, I know. Ain't gonna happen but it's a nice thought.
 
You're right about that. How many posts have you seen on this sight where someone finds a great fish for cheap because the LFS owner didn't know what the fish in question was?
A lot!

Two weeks ago I bought an aquarium ornament marked $2.70 that was supposed to be $27.00. It's a huge fake plastic waterfall/castle scene. I only bought it to get over on the big ugly cooperate pet store. I'll never use it. You'd die laughin' if you saw it. Tackiest thing ever.
 
I have one something like that. Big castle, hook up a bubbler, and the bubbles are guided up along some acrylic, and come out at the top, makes it look like a waterfall. Kinda cool, really tacky. But hey cheap is cheap.

sell it back to them, make a profit of them, laugh in their faces
 
anyway back on the subject of desirable plecos, how about albinos, platinums and leucistic or whatever the word is. only platinum i can find is this platinum royal... anyothers.

They are the only ones I have heard of, and I am not certain they are actually platinums. They also go by the name Imperial Plecos. They are on the cover of Hikari algae wafers even!
 
If anyone can get these I want one! MILES!!!! THIS IS WHAT I WANT!!! haha, I just don't know if I could afford that little guy.
