Mine was 70$ I think, but I got it locally so no shipping charge.

get it from a vendor,100 is way to much,20 plus shipping not bad.

You might want to check prices of the blue phantoms and other cool plecos on Aquabid.

$35 a piece is what you should pay.

If your in Detriot you need to check out Fantastic Fins in Livonia. This shop has many mnay differant types of plecos. Ask any other Michigan pleco fan about them.

allan01230... im about an hour north of detroit in macomb county/ richmond area so its a long hike the ones who told me 100$ for the blue phatom was oceans and seas tight on 10 mile and gratiot.. they didnt need to order it they had him in stock so idk what they are smokin in their

100 is a little expensive, I think for one that size, 70$ would be more appropriate

Biggest thing no one here has asked, is what the coloration is of the L128. Extremely light ones, with a very vibrant blue will easily fetch $100. If it is a darker one, then $100 is a little steep.
