Breeding L200s?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
wow thats well steep. i can never get over the crazy prices for some fish in aus. yea its cool, somethin' bit different. Outta interest how much the 168's set you back (each) and the royals- good luck on them breeding
 
Davo the L168 were first bought @ $90 each I got 5 then about a month later another shop accidentally had them for$32.50 each so I bought all they had...7
so they averaged out a bit cheaper for me :)
the first royal I got was $600 (4")and were almost unheard of then,but would cost $900
then I got another @$ 450 (3" plus) which is alot for a couple a fish

but I can't resist ........

yes Davo L168's for me atm I have hopes of them breeding soon
also L191 royal a young pair hopefully...dont see the fw sole much but it is avail. they are quite long lived I've heard.. nice oddity thou :)

Wyldfya... sounds like you know whats what in plastic... lots o ppl here in Oz were using common hardware shop (pvc ?) pipe for water storage on their 4wd vehicles for camping etc and getting crook from the arsenic and lead in it ,I never heard of that until recently
....nice find with the L200 / GN shop hope you get a good deal , I'd buy em all GN's are $500 each here:cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:
That is strange. Around here if that were to pop up, the PVC company would be in serious trouble. I use exclusively Charlotte brand PVC, they make the best there is.

Very strange... I use exclusively Charlotte brand PVC, and have had no problems ever.
 
Sorry about double post, STUPID COMP HERE SUCKS! Anyway, I have purchased one of the L200s I found, and it has about 6 total spots on its entire body. Very strange look, very unique. I will get pictures posted once I get back.
 
just thought I'd mention it as some ppl might not know...the pvc pipe is the common cream colour used for general plumbing and not for storing water and was leaching lead and arsenic into the water in small amounts and causing sickness long term... these unlucky campers wern't using the right thing for water storage and paid the price... AND SO therefore dont put it in your beaut fish tanks whew sorry 'bout that waffle

ok then back to the L200 where's this 6 spot fella
c'mon c'mon c'mon
 
good luck, i have always loved plecos and wanted to breed some
 
nice gollum, at that price, quite a dedication. wyldfya, i personally prefer them with less spots, especially when they are really bright and well defined
 
Well I have 5 new L200s, however while I was away, something plagued my plecos and all 11 died. I now must start the long road to rebuilding my collection.
