    i spoke to some people and everyone is out..to cold to ship fish and breeder taking some time off.

    You need to understand these fish are expensive and i would recomend having prior breeding experience under your belt before you drop the cash on these fish. it would be ashame if you bought these and they died because of poor tank conditions or they didn’t breed because your stll new at the hobby(don’t know if you are)

    so think over it…fish cost around 400 a pop..i know i would never spend that money on sucker fish..only a marine fish i could spend that money.

    ok, i could wait till spring or when ever for them to be available
    and i have been in the hobby for 10 years now so i think im ok with experience
    :shock: $400, really? i want a young pair so the price would be lower and i thought they were $100-$200

    :shock: wow!
    hmm..idk but look at this site
    http://exoticfinds.net/firstplecopage.html
    that is almost a reasonable price for the little ones so it must be a similar price else where
    i have been researching this fish for a while and if i could find a good price i would really like to get a pair of these gorgeous fish
    and thanks for the help :)

    exotic finds is about 40 mins max from where i live…but the ones for 165 are young fish and probably not able to be sexed yet…you can see the larger ones are more money…buti wish you luck and let me know how ya make out..
