Guys, you are so lucky. Last time I visited Singapore I took lots of catfish picture. Here where I live L46 Zebra cost around $500. LAst week a crazy guy advertised a pair for $2,200. They are not on the legal import list in oz. I got L01 (looks like gibbiceps) and I paid $200 for 4 and that is half retail price. And juvenile peppermint catfish cost $50 (locally bred), wild gold pleco cost $1000.
I can only dream of having zebra plecos. APparently they being considered by the government to be included on the import list.
You can buy chewing gum there, we can't buy plecos here. Hehehe. []

Hello Akoh!

Phew!Glad u inform me.Now just have 2 sit tight awaiting the arrival of the elusive species.U should have seen the face of my colleague at work when I told them that maybe they have 2 wait until next year![:0] [:0] [:0]
1 question.Does Gan accept reservation?
Scared someone may take up all at 1 go!

Anyway, thanks Akoh!!

bentan, same ones i saw days ago! very nice, right? $50 each, maybe that's why they're still there.
[]

akoh, my colleague who's the one who brought my attention to these L200, said the picture in the web looked different. said b328's looked nicer!

maybe you can drop by there, take a look, and maybe end up buying a few! lol![]

[bentan]

ya...L200 is beautiful coryfav...

n ur rite...50 bucks!

they look cute when small huh...but the adults frm website pics arent tt nice anymore...

zebra plecos still rulez

[akoh]

Coryfav ! no lah ! I oreli have 3 pcs of L200.
Oh ! Yah ! before I forget ! there is another pleco which is very similar to L200 ! it's L128 - " Small spotted cat " !. L128 is darker green and the spots are light blue in colour, hence it's more X than L200. Look like I have to make a trip to C328 to confirm ! will update u ppl.

bentan ! The adults are just as nice ! my 6" L200 is just as nice as the 3" ones !, the growth rate for L200 is relatively quite slow, so check it out ! , Cheers ! []
