I can get a lot of L#'s in. But i have never shipped, so here is what i would do. I would have you pay shipping, and only would gurantee overnight. If they arrive dead, i will reship and pay for the next shipping. if they don't make, i then would have my LFS ship them, maybe. Throw out some L#'s that you would want. I will split shipping costs with you if you do sameday shipping, and my LFS would ship

I like the L #'s but they are expensive where I live, and to pay $65 for a single algae eater that may hide 24/7 is tough to justify. Id rather pay $65 and get some calvus undecided
Another words, I am simply too cheap to have L#'s.
(I had a beauty- galaxy pleco, but it died after a year)

How about L200 Green Phantom ? Or L114 ?

I can't believe you asked this. They have a 4 inch L114 there now. They have had it for 2 years, very nice specimen. I can get that for $30 probably as it is a fancier one and grows a foot

How about L25?

I actually talked to the guy. The L114 he isn't sure if he is going to sell it, and he just found out how much they are worth. If he hadn't found out, i probably could have got it for you for 35. I will see. As for L25, yes they are usually on the list. But remember, i have never shipped.

Hey fishboy:
How about running me down some albino bushynose? Or possibly a golden nugget?? (not sure of L#'s)

They have bothy all the time. The albinos are about 1.25 inches and $8 i think, not sure on the gold nuggets. Every month i am up there bowling in tournaments, always the first weekend of the month. I might be able to bring them up there and early in the morning you can meet me at the bowling center

L-059 price?
fishboy
Oct 29 2005, 02:35 PM

Fish, where did ya go man? You peaked people's curiosity then you left Dodge?

I am here. I have been really busy. I am calling right now, because another bristlenose died, and i am getting some new fish. But, they will order next week I will check on L059, L200(last timed i called, these were only $22.) They won't sell the L114, so these will be around 45-50 sorry. How many albino bristlenose do you want. If you want the $8 ones you will have to wait for a few weeks when the guy i get them from comes to town. Other wise they are 10 i think. And i will check on gold nuggets

Sorry guys. I called yesterday but they were busy. anyways, the site is segrest.com. You can't ,order off the net, but this is were i get my plecos from. And, here is the deal, i am going to start shipping by shipping cheap plecos and cichlids then the rare ones. What i am going to do is get some for fanmankc because he lives like 3.5 hours away. I know how to ship, like what to put in the water, to fast the fish, triple bag, and clip the edges so fish don't get stuck

So you cannot get L114 or are they more expensive $40-$50 ? I probably like to get L114, L200 and gold nugget...Let me know how do you plan to ship FedEx ?
fishboy
Nov 1 2005, 06:35 PM
I haven't decided on shipping. probably ups or fedex. I can get all the fish you mention. L200 he told me were 22 bucks last i heard. Ok everyone here is the thing, i am not backing out on any of you. What i think you should do first is check with your LFS and see if they can get them from there importer/distributor for wholesale, which probably means they won't gurantee. I really want to start shipping with cheaper plecos, that way if they die i don't loose alot of money. I am getting a trio of a species of hypancistrus or peckoltia to trade for my 5 L104. I am thinking one of the following, L66, L33, L134, L015, L174. I shouldn't have started this topic. But, if you guys can wait for a few months than i will get them cheap, once i have shipped some fish

Ok, i want to ship my cichlid babies when i get some. I am getting my fish next week, which are
trio afra cobue(full grown, male is amazing)
pair of jalo reef(subadult, but ready to breed)
5 saulosi(hopefully 1m/4f, the guy i am getting them from got sent the wrong size, so they are 2-2.5 inches, but they are breeding size.)
So i expect to at least have cobalt blue fry and cobue fry by the end of this month, and ready to ship them in january.

This has changed. I got a trio of cobue, pair of labeotropheus trewavasae mpanga, 1 male and 4 female saulosi, and a W/C female cobalt blue. I am getting another female cobue and mpanga, and a trio of afra blue reef in a few months. My LFS has what i think is a trio of L066. I talked the guy down to 60 bucks for all 3. He won't trade though, which is what i was going to do. I should have fry in a few months. anybody want to be my first person i ship to, i will gurantee
Ben cichlid, i can get all those fish for you. it will probably be like 150 dollars total. But wait for a few months until i get shipping down

Ben are you still interested in any of these. I know it has been a while. Let em check. I now i promised, but i have not talked to this guy for ever. Let me call him and get some prices. I will check for a few of the L#'s. L018, L200, and albino bushy nose. Shipping, though, is now $60. So for one L200 you are looking at around $100. I personally do not think it is worth it. I can gurantee one thing, i will have some albino bushy nose. They will probably be $10 each.
