Just og tback from there and thought I would let you all know what they had in stock... okay that is after I blew over $200 on a bunch of new plecs that is... lol

Red Tail Leopard Cactus Pleco
Mango Plecos
Sm & Lg Royal Plecos
Green Phantom Plecos
Lechera Plecos (?)
Clown Plecos
Vampire Plecos
Zebra Oto's
also they had tons of botia and sewellias
as well as 4 or 5 varities of Shrimp

As for me I grabed a pair of Peckolita LDA2's (only 2 they had); 1 Red Tail Leopard Cactus Pleco (L114); a beautiful Lemon Green Phantom (only one they had); a mango and a very small Royal.

All look very healthy and didn't see a sunken belly in the bunch!

Congrats on the new pick up's:)

That is probably the best big al's to shop at for fish.

If I remember correctly there were red and black bees, pinochios, cherries and one or two others

On a side note lost the L200 and one of the LDA2's today :( Acclimating these guys can be such a crap shoot

Lost the Royal today :( He was so adorable at the size, 1".

Everyone else is doing well and they seem to have started eating so fingers crossed.

WOW that is typical of the plec's from Big Al's they just die for some reason:(

I hope all of the others will be just fine. I hate when things like this happen. I know all about after the L-239 episode:(

Wow, that's alot of small fish ... I wonder where BA import them from. It's a cause for concern if the fishermen are catching small babies like that.

I'd call them and bring the fish back dead or not.

I am not getting into arguments with them over lost fish anymore... not worth my time or headache.
