Most of these fish are valued at over $1000 here for adolescent ones. I cant imagine what breeding ones would be worth. I was fortunate enough to see a couple of the offspring in his shop for sale. You could truley see the love for these fish in his eyes.
The poor guy must be devastated by his loss. He just wanted to share the pleco love through Melbourne. I dont imagine he will be able to get fish such as those again.


Before you criticize someone walk a mile in their shoes. That way you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

Just passing the word on. A lfs owners house was recently robbed and amongst other things he had his pleco breeding stock taken.

L14, L114, L135, L136b, L204, L201, L200, L190, L191, lda22, lda28 and lda64.

So if any rare plecs start popping up places interstate could you let me know? Chances of them being sold to the public are slim but you never know. My bet is they have been put in a private collection somewhere.

Just an update..
It seems the fish are starting to turn up in Melbourne from sales through Sydney and Queensland and the are being returned. Apparently the fish were microchipped. Some of them have even been returned to rightful owner.
