GN Individual mutation!!!

[WyldFya]

This is a picture a few people have been asking about. This is a L081 individual mutant, direct from the Aqualog book Loricariidae all L-Numbers. Picture quality is due to the scanner I used. These are extremely rare, and very expensive. You gotta admit though a very cool looking pleco!
:SaiyanSmi <----- Kinda looks like this guy!

[davo]

cool stuff, i didnt expect it to be quite that long, it looks like a flame, its awesome. what a great anomolie

[WyldFya]

Awesome looking plec isn't it!

[WyldFya]

I should make an avatar of some of the mutant plecos in my books!

only if its crappy

[WyldFya]

no pun intended right! I'll put that L018 in the corner with a dunce cap on, and a crappy trail running up to it!

[concord]

:ROFL: thyats a cool plec, I wants one I love that elongation on the fin

[FishHeadSoup]

WICKED!

i wonder how much that guy costs?

[WyldFya]

A lot.

[davo]

A lot.
????

[WyldFya]

Read the post before it.

[ewurm]

only if its crappy

LOL... :ROFL: ...Crappy avatars rule!

[ewurm]

Thats a wierd GN...Is that breeding or just a mutation?

[WyldFya]

Individual mutation. They pop up every once and a while, but are very rare. Think of it like a snow aro.

[ewurm]

Cool, thanks!

[WyldFya]

No prob. :welcome:

[davo]

if you got one though, by chance, id have no idea on how youd sell it

[WyldFya]

For something like that, I'd sell it on aquabid! Just set the reserve really high.

[davo]

ah coolo, guess id do the same with the UK equivelent, if i wanted to give it up

[WyldFya]

Come on. Give up a pleco like that! HA! not a chance under the sun!

[davo]

Come on. Give up a pleco like that! HA! not a chance under the sun!
could fund another tank with a whole lot of other plecos. i think some photos and having kept it for a few weeks would do me

[WyldFya]

Not me, I would have to keep that one. To cool to give up.

[davo]

you could have a real try at trying to "selective" breed em i guess

[WyldFya]

Yeah that could make you some decent money, plus still have the original.

[davo]

Yeah that could make you some decent money, plus still have the original.
shame there not the easiest plecos to breed

[WyldFya]

Even if they were, can you imagine how hard it would be to get that trait to come out?!

[davo]

biology and working out genes was never my strongpoint

[WyldFya]

Well just think of it this way, you'd need to find 2 that are diverse to avoid imbreeding.

piece of piss, ill start now

[WyldFya]

So you'll be ready in what 10, 20 years?

[davo]

yup, have my first batch of 100 in about 11 i reckon

[WyldFya]

HAHA, if you ever found 1 I would be impressed.

[davo]

i'll send you my first 10 for free

[WyldFya]

I'm going to hold you to that!

[davo]

pm your address

[WyldFya]

Will do. :D :naughty::ROFL:

[WyldFya]

While your at it why don't you start breeding zebra's so much that the average cost will drop to $10 a piece. I'll buy the first couple batches off of you!

[davo]

lol nah i dont like 'em, id go with L066 or the queenie

[WyldFya]

If I bred I would go for the Adonis, and the L128 and 200.

[davo]

youd get a lot of variety of L200

[WyldFya]

seperate tanks for theL128 and L200

[davo]

i'd see if theyd hybridise.

[WyldFya]

Yeah but then you would just get a bunch of greens.

[davo]

funny how the colours would mix like you would if you were mixing paint

[WyldFya]

well actually it depends on which color was dominant. Also size would play in. What would be cool is to get a Blue colored one, with the Green phantoms dots, and size.

[davo]

i'd love a bright blue plec, that wasnt a panaque or cost loads

[WyldFya]

That is the reason I don't have Blue Phantoms, I have 2 Blue Panaques, and they are awesome!

[WyldFya]

I have been looking for a blue phantom that looks like this however, and no luck.

[davo]

duno panaques dont really apeal to me. not that i havent had them lol

[WyldFya]

I like the sizes of them. There are very few plecos I wouldn't keep if I had the room.

[davo]

id keep the red spiny devil type plecos from guppys thread if i could

[WyldFya]

Too pricy for my blood.

[davo]

L025 looks damn good though

[WyldFya]

That is a very good arguement. But for me that would win me over on almost any pleco.

[savotron]

absolute bute mate luv it!:thumbsup:

[kuteboy]

Awesome mutation!!! i love it!!!

[DrBranDo]

cool. like the long fins.
very magestic.
