Mez! What I meant was - is there a strict control on the import of this Loricariidae fishes in English !. When you mentioned " pretty common " so species like Peckoltia ( Zebra ), ancistrus ( bristle-nose), Panaque ( Royal ), hypostomus ( big mouth ) etc - no problem in getting. Cheers

No problem in getting peppermint here in OZ, the others like zebra is very very difficult. Did someone say gibbicep only cost 50cents in SG?? Is that mean L001 also very cheap? In oz L001 cost more than peppermint.
