Where can I purchase fancy plecos online?

[AquaAlex1993]

Hello everyone, I'm a new member here but not new to fishkeeping. I have purchased from all three vendors (Jeff Rapps, Snookn, Wetspot, and DiscusOrigin) and can attest to the quality of all 3. Snookn can take a long time to respond back but don't get discouraged, he'll get back to you in a day or two.

Jeff is a pleasure to deal with and usually responds back very quickly. Wetspot also responds back quickly.

All 4 have very good stock.

I have L27, L114, L128, and L240 Vampire Pleco plus some others I will be posting for later this week. Unfortunately I need to downsize due to limited living space. I currently have a 90 gallon but like some fishkeepers, I was overzealous and bought many of the pleco's small thinking I'll buy a house soon and purchase larger tanks. That's not going to happen any time soon.

I am not willing to ship due to lack of experience and a oxygen tank but would be willing to meet half way if you are interested. I'm located in the NYC area but travel to CT frequently.

I am very interested my friend. I would like to get the L27, L114, L128, and the L240. What other kinds do you have? I would be willing to meet you somewhere in CT.....
Can you post some pictures when you get a chance? How much are you looking at getting?

I have the following:

L27 Gold Line 5" ( not sure if it's a thunder since the store did not list)
L128 x3 2"-3"
L240 x1 2"
L048 x1 5"
L56Yx1 6" Mostly gold
L114 x 1 3.5"
L024x1 3" not 7 pointer
L177x1 2"
L264x1 3"
Blue eyed panaque magdalena 8"
L183x1 3-4" female has bred but the male died. Not sure if i want to keep this one.

I also have a blue scorpion discus 5.5"-6" and red turqoise 5"-5.5". The red turq paired herself up with the blue scorp and lays eggs but i suspect they are both females since they've never hatched and 2 altums med sized maybe 3" body.

Here is what I would want....
L128 (maybe all 3 if good price), L240, L114, L024, L177, and L264. Just out of curiosity how much would the blue eye be? How much for the 2 altums? Do you have any pics?

To be honest I was thinking about pricing structure myself. I was thinking $60 for all 3 L128's $30 for the L240 (he/she is small but cute as my wife would say) L114 $50. L024 $90 L177 $30 and L264 $60. The 2 altums I'll let go for $80. The altums are 100 percent acclimated, it was a pain in the butt. I started with 5 wilds and lost 3 during acclimation. One likes to pick on the 2nd one. They are also very skittish but still growing.

The blue eyes... I'd like to get $350 for him. This one is probably my favorite out of all.

I'm somewhat flexible on price if you decide to take the lot. I'm more interested in the fact that they will go to a good home. In the past i have brought fish to stores for credit but found that if people don't buy right away they tend to suffer due to very small tanks and would not like to go this route if I can avoid it.

I will post pics later today or tomorrow after work. Sorry if they are crappy pics. I had to remove all the caves and wood to take the pics during a water change and even then, they piled up in the corner next to the intake and heater.

If you are interested in the origin of purchase, I can provide that as well.

I was planning on a trip to Logee's in Danielson CT next saturday. That's on the border of Mass I believe.

Regardless of what you decide, you can always ask me for advice on fishkeeping. Whether the advice is correct or not is a different story .

Sorry Alex, I forgot that I also have 2x L273 titanics up for grabs. They are roughly 2" and their look differs vastly. I suspect one is the red varient and the other is yellow.

I apologize to the moderators if I was supposed to post this in the for sale section.
