If it's about fish in general, or it's a little bit random, then this is the place to post it.

L250 doesn't have a common name, only 8 have ever been exported from the Rio Irriri, Parana, Brazil.

Dave my clown peckoltia is quite well behaved, I did have an orange seam peckoltia, that was an absolute B*****D though :twisted:

They goldy plecs we had when I worked at my LFS where quite peacefull also, though they do get to nearly a foot long.

Hi

Why not try an Ancistrus they tend to be innofensive, say L180, Trimar have some at the moment, they deliver overnight, and they guarantee live arrival.

Hi

There was an L250 listed on ebay a while back, the asking price was 25000 USD.

Makes L46's seem cheap.

Dave

Alistair take your point on Peckoltias, but better to safe than sorry, I think.

I've got a group of 5 L129s for sale if you fancy :)
One of the smallest of hypancistrus :) - max at about 3-4".

the LDA33 is out due to its size... same as the Goldie :(

If you do fancy Ancistrus, I should have some more L182 starlight Bristlenoses available soon ;)

hi guys,

i forgot to mention that it would need to live happily at around 76 degrees, id imagine this might limit me as most plecs like warmer water? any ideas?
