Blue Eyed Pleco In U.K

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Just checked your website Kev, the shop looks fantastic. Shame your in Wigan and I'm in Essex. Congrats on the Blue Eye I hope who ever is exporting them is doing so responsibily as there will be a very big world wide demand for this former aquarium favourite, I worry that if the demand is that high they will ship whatever they can catch.

I already find myself wanting one.......
 
WOW, Really!!??!!

I heard that they found gold in the tribute they were found in and that they used mercury (very toxic) to flush the tribute so that gold was easier to find. But at the cost of all the fish in the vaccinity. And that was the end of wild Blue Eyes. I've been passing on that story for years.

I so hope your right I would love to see these fish again, they were beautiful but I never really appreciate it until they were gone.

If you get anymore soon, can you PM me please?

from what i have been told by people involved in the trade it was all about drug's. And where they are collected was cartel controlled land, but that has all changed now so we should start seeing more of them and some other fish from those regions

Thats what I have been told as well, fingers crossed they dont over fish them now. I can see the price being controlled by numbers for a long while yet though.

True i hope they dont over fish them, but if you think if this is the case about the cartel's controlling the land then the blue eye's are going to be in huge numbers. And before they dissapeared they came in on every colombian shippment. I think for a while anyway they are going to be highly priced, like the shipper will only sell a few a month to keep the price as high as they can for aslong as possible, like the Cory Wietzmani the first few sold for $250 each and then 6 month's later they where £20. Who know's, but the future seem's bright :D
