    ikan ! an adult ( male ) peppermint suckermouth catfish cost about 50 bucks in SG. They're a seasonal fish, normally around june/jul/aug they should be available in the lfs, cheers []

    Akoh. That is interesting, it cost almost the same with zebra pleco.
    They cost me $25 each for young peppermint 1 year ago from a breeder. Shop price now 4 for $150. I must say we have quite a few good breeder here in Perth. Want to buy royal panaque they have two in Melbourne only cost $1000 each!! Bargain huh.

    Ikan ! Peppermint is hard to come by lately ! hence the $ is almost the same as Zebra.
    Royal Panaque cost $1000 each in Melbourne ! [:0], how big is the fish ?. A 3" Royal Panaque only cost about 50 bucks in SG. I have a 10" Royal Panaque ( and a few small ones ) which have been with me since I started collecting this L series ! , man ! wonder how much this fellow can fetch in OZ [], cheers !

    Akoh. Nice to have fish like Panaque. The $1000 is full grown, the young ones 2 - 3 inches cost about $800. I know it's cheap in SG, I saw few at Clementi and Pet Safari last time. Apparently Panaque has been successfully bred in large aquarium like 8x2x2. We have the space here but not the fish, while you have the fish maybe not the space.
    So far for Zebra catfish, few people that have them in Perth have not be able to breed them yet.
    I bought 4 alt. calvus on the weekend for my tanganyikan tank.

    Akoh. Twig catfish is readily available here in Perth, mostly the large ones in my LFS. Also the royal whiptail also available. I prefer royal whiptail but they don't last very long in my tank. I have tried many times now I don't buy it anymore. The LFS said that they need apple snail to survive!!! Last week I went to this guy that breeds tropheus, had interesting conversation with him. I always like the shape of tropheus but never keep it. My LFS had two glod nugget plecos last year, they went for $1200 and $1000. People still willing to buy them somehow. I think if I buy one I have to lie to my wife[] []. I saw very nice one at the Pet Safari last year for $250 that I think expensive for Singapore price.
