Hmmmmmmmmm... Got me thinkin WyldFya..
Miguel sent me a photo of this 'AMAZING NEW PLECO' that he got from a special farmer deep in the Peruvian amazon.. However, I wasn't as excited, as it was just an L200 and they wanted a RIDICOLOUS price for it. Interesting thing however, L200s DONT COME FROM PERU.. Either it migrated south from Venezuala, or it could possibly be a new subspecies that crossed over river systems during the 'flooded' season. Some websites have them referanced as being located in the Upper Orinoco basin, but we are not in contact with fishermen from that region..
Unfortunately, this is the only picture I have of it, and you can't make out the finnage.
Interesting, no?
PS- If I were to Import this L200, with the prices I would be paying, I would have to sell it online for about $80-100!!!

The hi-fin L200 is now Baryancistrus demantoides, the "normal" L200 is Hemiancistrus subviridis. They both come from southern Venezuela. The Peruvian fish is VERY interesting!
