Hey all I was noticing that on aquabid a few of the banned plecos are for sale again. Wondering if the ban is letting some of the fish out again. Been seeing L-25 for sale on aquabid and even though not banned a lot of l-114's leopard cactus are for sale. Anyone else notice more plecos available than usual?
 
Almost had me cheering. L25 is the ugly stepsister of L24. Sooo close. :(

I personally prefer the L25s, although I love them both and I wouldn't mind having an L24.

No.. as far as i know.. the L-25s that are coming in right now are from a imported shipment from Peru.... one can say its the illegal kind of import... I dont think the banned has been lifted.. Its not like Brazil to do that...
 
Maybe it's just me but if something has been banned for export... it's probably not the right thing to provide incentives for smugglers to poach... whether I want the fish in question or not...
