Ah, I see that the black and white pleco bug has bitten you Neo. :lol:

L98 and L173 are variants of L046 and as such would be subject to the current export ban so it is unlikely that you will get them. Also they were extremely hard to come by as any that were found tended to go to the far eastern markets where they commanded a much higher price. I was fortunate to get a couple but I was never able to find anymore. From time to time they are seen amongst a breeders fry.

I done a search on tropical fishfinder for L199 and two places are listed as having them in stock.
