l183 starlight

well i seen a l183 for the first time in the flesh was about 3 inches in size looked like a male to me . had a lovelly white seem along the tail was tempted but priced at £30 if there had been a pair may have parted with my money colin.

LOOK ABOUT MATE YOU CAN GET CHEAPER

£30 is very exphensive for one L183....

the going rate is between £15 and £23........

Pier aquatics sell them for £18.50 at about 3 inch.......so 30 quid to much for me....

l183 are nice but think thirty bucks is a bit steep ive seen some l180 today at 4" for £22 and was tempted. also had the sp1

think i should move away from sunderland to be able to get hold of cheaper plecs colin.

Same here mate i need to moe away from Hull there is hardly any shops that even sell plecs never mind expensive ones

had a thought so what part of the country is the best for getting hold of plecs colin.

The fish is worth what people are willing to pay for them. £30 isnt alot if its the fish you are looking to get hold of. You lot should try Hypancistrus if you think £30 is to costly

L183 are well worth the money and IF you can breed them then £30 is a few fry:lol:

yeh i suppose but when i get them for 18 quid then i think double that is a little dear although i would be willing to pay top price for an ancistrus i really wanted so fair comment.....it depends on how much you really want it...

true a fish is only worth what your willing to pay for it the other month i got 6 l270 for £50 now thats a fair price colin.

agree a fish is only worth what you are willing to pay
I recently purchase a male red turq discus for £125 (could have got a smaller one for £65) but I want a large one to go with my female for a breeding program.
Like curby says if you want it then you may have to pay for it
I tend to set myself a price and stick to it.
Took my 4 months to find some more sterbai as I refused to pay over the odds for them but 2 weeks ago managed to pick up a further 10 for a decent price.
Now have a nice mixed breeding group which have just started to lays eggs

I have also paid a fair bit for fish i really wanted

i got 10 l270s for £60 which was an awesome price these are one of my favourite plecos but it may change when my l134s arrive only time will tell.

i sold 5 adult l183s for £70 2 males 3 females to a lad called lee in consett last year.i didnt like them i never saw them .

The cost is all relative,

You might have to pay £30, while someone in another part of the country is only paying £20, but if you have to travel there and back the petrol is likely to be more than the extra £10, and if you want them posted then that will also be more than £10... so you might as well pay the £30 at you LFS....... If you are a regular then the chances are that they will cut you a deal, especially if you are buying more than one....
