I got a great deal on two L200s today I have wanted these fish for years but they are not easy to come by in my area. I have only seen them twice before neither good specimens priced at. $90-$100.

I went to the LFS on my lunch break when I hear a lady say "these are beautiful what are they?" LFS worker says "Green Phantom Pleco" I tried not to act to excited and made my way over to glance at them. went away to let the lady finish her shopping. Thankfully she didn't take them. I went back and see the price tag $89.99. I wanted one but way to expensive for 1 fish. I Got talking to the LFS worker and he said "if you really want one I will give it to you for $50 I special ordered them and they will never sell at this price" He knows me well and knows how I take care of my fish. So I bought both for $49.99 each! That is a fantastic price by me. they are both a little over 3"

I will post pics when I get home but for now here are pics in the bag.

I don't think so. I think it is the regular L200.

Pics as promised. If anyone can tell the gender that would be great. By the head shape I think I have a male and female but that could just be my wishful thinking and seeing what I want to see. I know these don't breed easily but I have read that it does happen.

I am really excited by these they were cruising the tank last night out in the open. One of the L200s tried pushing my male HRP out of the main cave but he wasn't having that they had a little spat but all settled down rather quickly. I am going to get some black PVC to add additional caves today.
