Do We Have Rare L No Keepers Here?

[simonas]

Over the years we have had some rare plecs on the forum but there doesn;t seem so many round any more

Who still keeps rare L nos on here

Show us some pics and let us know about your experiences with them

Over the years I have had L25, L200,L128, Blue Eyed plec,l75 and L264 and L114. Looking at the prices now I wish I still had them!!!

 

[deetheman_6]

l200 green phantom pleco about £30
l128 blue phantom pleco around £40 to 70.
l114 leopard catus pleco £50 to £110

i have a leopard catus full red tail know as l600 i have had him for about a year he was about 2 and a half inches long but he's quite rare i was after a flame plec or leopard catus i'd been waiting for around 10 months for one of these pleco the flame pleco never came but the later one did and he cost me £60

I have not been around in a while.

Currently I have:

- 11 wild caught L-134 breeders (Pekolita). i have had 5 spawns but had no luck getting them to free swimming. I believe they need more space and the fms are eating each others eggs and the dads are also inexperienced and lose wigglers. (No pics)

- 5 wild caught Hypancistrus contradens which have been spawning for about 15 - 18 months. About 40 assorted fry from them.

- 7 F1 L-173 (Hypancistrus) acquired via Aquarium Glaser in Germany. Been growing them out for about 14 months now. (No pics.)

- 8 F1 L-450 (Hypancistrus) growing out. Acquired from the first American breeder of them and likely the only one. (No pics)

- About 55 L-046 aka Hypancistrus zebra. They are 13 wild caught breeders I have had most of since Apr. O6 or earlier. I have 15 F1s from them forming a new breeder group and about 25-30 assorted size fry growing out.

great collection you have there

I plan to give breeding a go as well having bought 6 juvi Royal Sturisoma which are growing on rapicly and I have bought a pair of albino bristlenose tonight

I;d like a small group of L134 when I can find one for sale, lovely plecs they are

unfortunately he doesnt seem to be growing very fast, hes healthy and definitely eating and pooing, just not really getting bigger.

dont think its rare, definitely wasnt expensive, but ive only seen them for sale once.

Very cool thread, thanks for the pictures. I really enjoyed them. I just have a normal BN and a new little clown.

 

[Squidward]

I would get a few....if they weren't so expensive

 

[Dudfield]

I used to have a Gold Nugget pleco and a Pseudo Zebra... Didn't have much luck with them at the time.

dont think its rare, definitely wasnt expensive, but ive only seen them for sale once.

Is it a Whip-tail?
