How hard is to get a hold of these plecs

[aquaculture]

L047

L200

L082

Farlowella vittata

how available are these and what are there average price.

thanks

Also would they do good in the same tank with two-three angel fish, 2 black ghost knives, 1 senegal bichir, and driftwood and rocks galore with a snady bottom, there will also be two spotted rapheals. tanks size 120 gallons ph 7.6 and temp range of 75-82.

ok, I narrowed the plecos down to L082 and L047 same questions.

not recomended being tank with senegal bichir, cause possibly he will eat the plecos.

You can get the L47's - but it depends on your financial situation. $$$$$

so are L 082's exspensive also.

L082's are the perfect pleco for me, temp range is now going to be 78-82f and this would be awesome. just gootta figure out which body part to sell.

L82 are rare.. very rare.. im not positive.. but they may be on the banned list..

as for mango.. not so common either.. and quite pricy.. I think u can do a mango since its easier to find.. L82s aren't so easy to find...

In Michigan a mango is about $40 for a 2-3 inch specimen. I have seen 8 inchers go for $85. L-82 is on ban list and very rare. L-200 is a lot easier to find but kind of sensitive. Check out aquabid to get an idea on price and availabilty.

its probably just me but I do find mango plecos really too easy to obtain- have several sources that always have them in.

I think their in season.. i know my LFS dont get them.. i have to drive an hour just for a store that MIGHT carry them..

I got mine from snookn21, whos been having them in.. even some not so common ones..

l-082 is only sporadically imported anymore due to heavy monitoring of Xingu exports. Theoretically, this should apply to 047 as well, but they are readily available.
