So i found a new fish store close to where I work.. I never really bothered to look around my work area because i always just want to go home.. but with the time change.. i actually feel like exploring and find fish stores..


Anyways.. I found several plecos today that are VERY VERY rare and hard to find..

L-034 ALBINO Medusa Pleco
L-194 Royal Pleco
Sunshine pleco (forgot the L-XXX)
and other rare ones too...

Anyways.. how much will u guys pay for this little guy???
Its a Albino Medusa at 3inches.. I really want to get it.. cuz how often do u see an Albino one? But the store owner is really really crazy...

He first told me he was wants $40 for it.. and by the end it came down to $30 for the albino Medusa.. but i didnt feel like getting such a small fish.. for 1 i know if i order it online... i can get bigger ones froM Vendors like Snook21 for 20bucks.. not albino..

2ND.. Pleco growth rare is slow.. and at 3" i'll take forever to compare to my other plecos that are 6-10"...

I just dunno if i should.. The store owner speaks chinese.. which luckily i can too.... he seems like a good guy to do business with.. but.. really 3" pleco for $30bux? I got my Royal Pleco for that same price...

What do u guys think?
I also attach other pleco the guy was selling.. enjoy!

Be careful that first pleco!! Looks like it could be an albino bristlenose, I have never heard of medusa being albino, but reg medusa here will go for $30. Could be full of it.
Royal I would pay 15-30 depending on size, sunshine are more, not familiar with them, but maybe $50? I'm not sure on that one.
Just be careful on that first plecostomus for sure it looks to be a bristlenose.

THANKS,

See thats what i thought too.. it looks nothing like an Medusa.. but i do like the albino color... but I dont feel like paying $30 for a 3" fish.

Also, the royal pleco was going for 75bux, it was 7".. bigger than mine (5") but i could tell he was BSing me..

And the Sunshine.. the guy was like ehhhhh $400bux.. i dunno i honestly think they think me as a dumbass or something.. but i know better..

Sunshine pleco are expensive at $100+ dollar....

I dunno.. i had my eye on that Brislenose/medusa... so maybe i'll get it..
What is the diff between the two? they look similar to me..
 
anyone?
 
Albino bn's are pretty common. Longfin albino's will command that price, but not the regular fins. That royal is not an L194, it is an L190. At 7" it is worth $75. The sunshine's price will depend on its size. At 2-3" they often go for over $50.
 
Cool thanks so much....

I guess this pleco isn't worth $30 huh?
 
i paid...$12 for mine...
 
paid $20 bucks for my royal....the sunshine....dun knw. haha over here in singapore....its abt $30
