that's equiv. to about $30 for 3" ... i think it's about market price .. i got mine for $25 and he's 4 inches TL at a small shop that sell mostly common fish so $25 is a big ticket item ... mine seems to eat right away so my take of the L066 is they are easy to keep ... so 3" is not far off, unlike other species where they are fragile between 2-3" ... expert of the L066 can chime in
if it is healthy, its a great price for over here mate. Any size above 2" would be considered less fragile, easy to keep with the right conditions and right diet.
thanks liz , ani-luvr ... thanks guys for the nice comments.. like you, im too are crazy about plecos .. too many beautiful ones out there and not enough tank space or deep pocket
