A bunch of plecos for sale. L46, L264, L240

[CanadaPleco]

Okay I have a bunch of fish here for sale. I've got the following:

6 or 7 L46 Zebras @ 2" - $250 each

4 or 5 L264 Sultans @ 2-3" - $40 each (only want to sell as a group) - SOLD

2 x L240 @ 6-7" - $50 each (males).
These sell on Aquabid for $35 each for 1.5"-2" fish!
Awesome pleco's that are out and about very often. I am just too male heavy and need to get rid of some.

Prices are FIRM, do not bother trying to get me to go down in price!

If I have a lot of interest I will come to Toronto area and meet everyone one day. Will try to get some pics today.

I have seen Rich's L46's in person, they are worth every penny.

[PlecosRus]

Approximately; How much will the shipping be too Calgary?

[PlecosRus]

Maybe considering a Zeb too add to my colony.

[CanadaPleco]

I don't live in an area where shipping is possible. I am 2.5 hrs away from any airport, and FedEx overnight is no such thing here, its 2 days at least. Which I just cannot and will not do.

[PlecosRus]

My bad, should have asked if you shipped first. Yeah two days wouldn't have been good.

[blossom112]

Did you say you come to toronto?
Im debating ..........and woundering if hubby would kill me rolmao

[CanadaPleco]

Yes I will if I have enough people wanting to buy.

[blossom112]

[blossom112]

Im in for 2 ........ could i get a m/f pair?
and if i like them and healthy etc. ill grab more .
Now i havent told hubby yet lmao .... so gimme at least till evening tomorrow to break the news .

looks like i wont be shopping tomorrow lol

[CanadaPleco]

I don't have pictures, they are in my planted Discus tank and nearly impossible to get pics of. As the ad says they are 1.5-2" They are also 2 years old.

I will deliver (not to houses) but to one area in the GTA if it is worth my while, I need to sell at least 4 fish to make the trip.

Rich

[blossom112]

Thank you

[CanadaPleco]

May be able to deliver to Toronto this SATURDAY the 24th.

[blossom112]

oh yehh .....

[blossom112]

Hi hate to bug you but a few q .
These will be my very first meat eaters ........boy im scared lol
What do you use for food or even better do you have something you could print out for me ?
i was reading all night about meat eaters and sure ill be reading for the next month lol
I saw the url of where you order some foods , but would like alternatives to internet shopping .
thanks
What do you have in your tank , lots wood , rocks or slate ?
mine has no rocks or slate this will give me time to grab some of what i dont have ...
when you have time
Thanks Doreen

[CanadaPleco]

They are in a planted Discus tank, there's a bunch of rocks as well as wood.

They eat a bit of my discus food (the little that makes it to the bottom) which I made, but do not recommend feeding it to them really. I have been feeding them food from Kensfish.com forever. Earthworm sticks, Golden pearls, grow crumble, brine shrimp sticks, etc

I am suprised your L264's eat veggies, mine wont touch the stuff.

[blossom112]

wow they eat golden pearls?
I have lots of that ...
where would i find earth worm sticks ? in a store ?
I shall go get some rocks lol

Thanks !!!

[CanadaPleco]

Golden Pearls - http://kensfish.com/kensspecialtyfood.html

Earthworm sticks - http://kensfish.com/kenssticks.html
(I doubt you'll find them at any stores)

[blossom112]

ok i sent him an email ....as we dont do any kind of paypal or credit card stuff for anything anymore lol
hopefully i can send a money order and get it here asap:)
and told them you referred me !

[blossom112]

are you selling zebra"s to amy ???no it wasnt you ....she just told me ..

[CanadaPleco]

Kens a great guy to deal with, I am sure he wont have a problem with money orders so long as they are international ones so he can cash them in the states. I've bought a lot of stuff from him over the years, and talked to him a lot at the catfish convention this past October. I buy prob 90% of my fish foods from him as well as my eheim's and heaters.

Don't know who Amy is, but you are the only person so far who has firmed up for a few of my zebras.

[blossom112]

she just joined :) i gave her the url ....
Yes when i go to the bank to make the money order ill be sure it is good for where ever he is .......
or maybe i can even do a money transfer at the bank .
I was thinking i might order a under gravel cleaner thingy ..... maybe next order but gonna be a chore to get it in there .
I forgot to ask ... what temp you keep them at ? mine is round 77 .5
should i raise it b4 they come or when they come .
Thanks .
gee i cant sleep ..........cant stop thinking of them .......they are my dream fish ........that and the blue eyed lol

you will have more in a few months right ?????
I f i am good i want more , i read 6 to 7 are best together .
Hi Amy :-) glad to see you here !!!!

Same 95% of my food/supplies/shipping stuff comes from Ken. He is a great person to deal with. I am still trying to get someone to carry the shrimp food I'm using other then ordering it out of Japan however. :confused:

Rich do they like the earthworm sticks? I have the earthworm flakes and the dehydrated earthworms but have never tried the sticks.

[CanadaPleco]

77 is too cold for any pleco, except the standard ancistrus. My zebras are between 82 and 84. Any of my other tanks are kept between 80-82

Kate, I have the flakes also, and i feed the sticks almost all the time, they sink right away instead of floating around on the top like flakes do :)
I do believe that they are exactly the same composition as the sticks, just shaped differently.

[blossom112]

Whats the min you could come this week ....?
just trying to pull some strings here .... lol

OK 3 .... im in for 3 .......told hubby if i die b4 they come he still has to pay for them lol
we both laughted ............

[klc]

It's nice to see someone get so excited about getting new fish. Makes it fun for all of us. I hope you enjoy the Zeb's.

[Rush2112]

Yes its great to see....enjoy!

[blossom112]

are you kidding me .........I have been dreaming of having these plecs but eric advised me to get some other fancy plecs for practic first ....which is why i got the sultans and the L134's ...
It wasnt the thaught of loosing the cash it was because they are on the endangerd list and we are nutty that way .......
Between having the zebras in my hand and looking at rich (handsome guy ) (dont worrie i am very happily married to the best guy in the whole world ;))i was tounge tied.
The zebras are out and about right now 2 are frollicking at one of kats caves ,I have clay caves they wont go near .......I should pass them to kat for the sultans as they loved them caves .....

Hubby didnt know how much i paid untill i had them little buggers in my hands lol
because he didnt ask till we were in the elevator getting them from rich ..... ROLMAO
he should just be gratefull i left him some money in the bank lol

Cripes i cant wait to get more now ..... If they ever come for sale ..Im looking for a mated pair now ....
Im verry happy .......these are in great condition and very activly in the open .
Thanks Rich ....im possitive when i get another tank we can get something else from you ;)
Doreen
no need to worrie about these plecs ......I shall cherish them for life and hord any babies I get ;):p

I dont think there is such thing as practice when it comes to keeping animals. What people think is practice is actually trial and error. That is the only type of practice there is when dealing with living things.
