So today I went to spokane and came back with three new L200s. Pretty good shape for two of them, and one is a little beat up. The ratio is two females and one male. The females are about 4" and the male is about 4.5". I'll post pics later.

Nice to hear about the new plecs. RIP mango though.

Have you found out about breeding the phantoms yet? Theres a place in england that has the first recorded breeding but there tank was huge, Im thinking local aquarium type size.

Mine are B. dematoides, which has not been recorded as having been bred in aquariums yet. I haven't seen anything about H. subviridis having been bred either. Do you have a link about there methods? Little is known as to whether they can cross breed and it is even theorized that L128 and L200 could breed together, and that they may even be the same species.

Yeah, my breeding will hopefully go towards getting some answers. I really would like to know if crossing H. Subviridis, an B. Dematoides is possible. I also am curious about L128 mixed in to that..

Yeah, there unfortunately wasn't a single other good pleco. There was on L260, but just not my style.

Stupid things won't pose for a good pic. But good news is no matter when I look into the tank, I see an L200.
