Here is a piccy of ours... Buffy

I'll be honest - £60 did seem a bit steep - but then again they are adults so a good size and no worries about them dying.
Buffy cost us very little (mates rates from a store manager) but £30 a fish is a bit high. I'm sure if you looked about you'll find them for around £20 each.

You could keep your fingers crossed that they breed - that'd make them well worth £60

I'm seriously tempted to get some L134, my LFS has about 5 for sale at the moment for £34.50 each. They are really nice looking specimens but the asking price is way too much. Trimar have them for about £21 and Whole sale tropicals had some a while back for about £16 each.

Hi Adam,
I bought mine from Wholesale Tropicals a few months ago and they were only £14 each. Im sure I saw some there approx 3 to 4 weeks ago. I think £34.50 is too much ,when you can get them for half that price.
Mine are ready to breed , but I dont have a spare tank !!!!
