What do you think is the most beautiful fish you carry? Show a picture if you can, and try to list the price. I'm just curious to see what kinds of awesome fish are out there...

My contribution- This fish is L128 I believe, and looks gorgeous from what its pictures on Planet Catfish show. The ones we have are juveniles, and haven't yet attained their magnificent coloration. Anyways, here ya go!:


The fish are about an inch long, and are rather pricey at around $30. Still... I like them! Beautiful and an algae eater! I'd buy one if I had the room.[/font]

That L128 is gorgeous. Haven't seen any around here. How large does it get

The L128 catfish get to around six-seven inches, not too big. They're in a genus similar to Ancistrus, so that probably explains some of their similarities, like the medium size, and their propensity for eating algae.

DISCUS

Yeah yeah yeah, you're probably thinking, typical because discus are just plain beautiful. However, I go a different route with them. I love Heckel discus. Wild forms are very hard to come by. Because of this, you're looking at about a $150 fish for a 3 inch specimen.

Everyone wants Jack Wattley's discus. His beautiful inbreed, crossbreed, immune system-less fish.
