Hello all,

I am new to the site, but not new to fish or Pleco!

I am currently breeding LF ABN and the short fin variety and I am attempting to get a L183 project started. I am having a hell of a time finding the little buggers though!

Guess thats all for now. Very Happy

Yes, the L183's are EXTREMELY hard to come by over here, but I am determined to find a pair and show everyone the beauty of the species over here. I will keep everyone posted on my seach, and hopefully, my breeding log of these wonderful little fish. =D

Hi and welcome...GL finding the L183's I have been looking for awhile now too..there not the easiest to find thats for sure.

Subject: Re: Greetings from Sunny SWFL!!! Mon Jul 25, 2011 6:15 pm

I noticed you were looking, every where Ive posted you've also posted looking for them. There are some on Aquabid right now, but out of my price range. $31 for the fish and $46 to ship.

I could write a really smart comment about that price but I'll just say compared to our prices that is quite cheap. In the end if you baught those fish and bred them you will make the money back in no time with the fry. Well that's how we Aussies justify spending hundreds of dollars on our fish (yes they are worth a pretty penny over here)

Over here as well. And I know that that still is a fairly decent price but I may be able to work something else out for a bit cheaper.
