Uhhh...nope. Unless its a one of the good L's, I don't spend more than $10 on a common pleco, and for the record, I've seen them cheaper at decent LFSs.

the store owner said it was a sailfin but i wasnt sure. i finally raised his fin and it looked like a sailfin. so is 12inch long sailfin worth 20.00 bucks?

From prices I have seen, that's a good buy.

Thats a fair price I have seen common that big going for twice as much in the past at some of the smaller shop back in my home town where everything is over priced.

i forgot to add that he was for going for $50.00! but the owner gave me $30.00 off because i helped a customer with a question that one of his employee's couldnt answer. he even asked if i wanted a job!


its good to hear that i didnt waste $20.00

THANKS!
