Xingu are from the Rio Xingu.

 

[scatz]

there are dozens, possibly hundreds of pleco's from the rio Xingu area, which "xingu" plec did you mean?

Possibly the answer can be " A whole lot of cash".

Possibly the answer can be " A whole lot of cash".

yeah, about 70 dollar difference in a 4inch specimen.
i do assume that OP is referring to a xingu royal vs a regular one?

If he means L90 Xingu vs L001 Common then EVERYTHING IS DIFFERENT because Royals are The COOLEST and commons are bleh

 

[peewee]

commons are hardy while the other is sensitive.

I was thinking royals as well, is it really only the locale (because it's from Brazil) that makes the big difference in pricing? Or are there desirable traits that a Xingu variant might have over the regular ones (like a Sao Francisco L25 vs regular L25's)?

L001 is not a common and it is your opinion that a Royal is the coolest (which doesn't even make my personal top 10 list)

Sorry I've always been told L001 is common pleco(my Mistake)....Yes it is my Opinion that L190&L191 are the coolest you dont have to rain on my fav by saying IYO its not on your top ten
