What should a Acanthicus hystrix cost

[tskemble]

A lfs has a Acanthicus hystrix for sale. They have $75 on it. Its about 8" without the extra long tail streamers. Its a great looking fish. Just wondering if this would be a good price for this kind of pleco?

It took me awhile to ID this fish. The lfs said it was a something totally different.

Wow, you must have a big tank. According to PC, they get about 2 feet long:

What did the LFS call it?

The store called it a lyre tailed panaque. I was sure that was wrong, but had to look at almost every L number to make sure I had the right fish.

I didn't buy the pleco as of yet. I would really like to, but I don't know if it will get along with my big common. Two big plecos fighting could cause some major damage.

They are very aggressive and might kill the common pleco you have.
