I recently saw one in the LFS for only $49.95!!! What can you tell me about this type of pleco? Requirements, size, compatibility with other plecos? You can IM me if you want. Thanks.

labrakitty Fish Addict Posts: 740 Kudos: 435 Votes: 9 Registered: 12-Nov-2004	My Peppermint BN was $30.00Aussie dollars, but normally $50.00 and at some places $75.00. I got it for $30 because we bought 2 eheim filters there. 2nd most would be my schwartzi corys for around $15.00 each I think.

ClownyGirl Fish Addict Posts: 508 Kudos: 311 Votes: 5 Registered: 07-Oct-2004	My 19 clown loaches and Denizon Barbs. The clowns average at Rs. 350 a pair, thats about Rs. 175 each, which is $3.5. I dont know how much they wld cost relatively in the US. The biggest are over 4 inches in size now. The other most expensive fish I own is a pair of Denizon Barbs at Rs. 170 each, again, close to $3.5. Heard they are like 30 pounds in the US. Have one full size black female angel which is short trimmed skirt. Her mate died. The breeding pair cost me $5 in all.

TigerAngel Fish Addict Posts: 522 Registered: 22-Feb-2004	The best buy was a Synodontis Eupterus (featherfin) sold to me @ $14.00 Aus. Was suppose to have been a young Cuckoo Synodontis. Now this fish is worth $150.00. What a bargain *TigerAngel attached this image:*

PJ Big Fish Posts: 492 Kudos: 427 Votes: 326 Registered: 19-Aug-2004	The most expensive fish I have is probably my Frontosa. Also the Electric Blue I had was worth a bit, but I traded it in for the frontosa because it had aggression problems. Last edited by PJ at 18-May-2005 01:29

kitten Fish Guru Meow? Posts: 2266 Kudos: 2194 Votes: 19 Registered: 18-Nov-2003	My most expensive fish to date would be my albino BN plec. And he was a whole twelve bucks, I think. Next runners up are the panda cories at $7.99. I'm a cheapskate. ~Meow. Thus spoke the cat.~

geesloper Enthusiast Posts: 151 Kudos: 95 Votes: 8 Registered: 28-Aug-2004	My 'Golden Red Eye Pleco' which I believe is a Pterygoplicthus scrophus... Cost NZ$35 (Around US$25). :-) Looks just like a regular Pleco but with yellow/pinkish skin and bright pink eyes. :-) I'd attach a photo but my water is embarassingly dusty :-P
