I've been on the hunt for a Dragon Fin for quite some time. I must have combed through a hundred of L091 with no luck

Come to the catfish convention? I think I recall seeing one at the last convention: http://catfishcon.com/
I went to Petland in Fairfax VA (http://www.petlandfairfax.com/) yesterday to pick up some blackworms. They have a dragon fin L91 (labelled as red fin pleco). Decent coloration, about 60-70% dorsal red coloration. The kicker is that its for sale at $190. It's about 4 inches SL.
Not a bad price. I think 60 to 70% red cover is about average for that size. I got mine at around 4inch and the red/orange seemed to spread some on the fin with size..I would get it just for rarity at that price
I got mine at another LFS in MD. They wanted $100 for it; fortunately the store had an anniversary coupon of 43% off, so I got a great deal. Alas, mine died after 2.6+ years (I think too many blackworms and other meaty foods, not enough zuchinni, so it got bloat; a pic when it was alive: http://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/forums/showthread.php?381414-breeding-the-three-beacon-pleco/page2). I would be reluctant to try another one unless it was below $100.
I got mine for around $50 5 or 6 years ago..i felt pretty lucky cause it was the only dragonfin out of about 20 specimens & hadn't seen too many around..i guess I agree when I think about that $190 is high, but if I didn't have one & was having trouble finding another..i might jump at it.lol....maybe try to convince the petstore they've mislabled it & demand 50% off..customer is always right.lol..yea, try more veggies next time to prevent the bloat if u get another
