i went to my friend's aquatic shop saturday afternoon and as i walked in there was a guy at the counter asking a member of staff about "these stingrays ive seen, black ones with white spots" when the member of staff say's yeah they are hard to get and cost a fortune because they are banned he say's no ive found them on the internet "10 for £200":naughty:. The staff member see's me and say's what do you think??? 10 Leo's for £200, i was like yeah good price i'll have 600:ROFL:. we told him it cant be right but he was sure he was so he get's out his laptop and first show's a pic of a gorgeous Leo eclipse then an ebay page to which the title was "Stingray, Plecostomus, Hong Kong Sucker." and a close up blown up pic of a Chinese hill stream loach:ROFL::ROFL::ROFL:. So we told him that its not a stingray and its only about an inch long and 10 for £200 is crazy, there are some in the tank's here for £2.95, he was'nt too impressed with that ebay page:D.

More re-search needed:).

i know this will give you a giggle Miles:D

Lol! That guy must be annoyed by Ebay! Thanks for sharing!!
 
LOL
 
awesome deal ......ill take 16 of those hillstream leopoldi lol
 
:D

It still amazes me how many people confuse Hill Stream Loaches with rays. I hear it in the LFS ("Are those little stingrays!?), and even when I kept Hill Streams friends and family would come over and say: "Cool, you have tiny stingrays!":screwy:
