Annerly Aquarium has some or is getting some, I read it in their advert but as yet haven't had a chance to go trawling through lfs for all the new goodies. Time and space sucks when you haven't got much of either lol. Hope this helps.

I just checked out their add again and it says they have them in. Hope this helps.

K,,,,

Just that P.C., had them at 1/2 to 1/3 the price we all thought might be a bench mark. And they are not known for bargain deals..

Alan,
Mate thanks for the tip. Might need to check in at P.C. out of curiosity as I haven't had a chance to check them out for ages. What price were they? as I'm in the market for 1 in the near future.
Cheers,
Bryce.

Yep, they are a very good price.As far as i know they had about 50 about 1wk ago, and they won't come down any further in price. But they are as cheap as chips. Hi Alan, sorry, haven't spoken to you in ages. Hope things are going super for you. I had a few set backs, but like we all do in fish keeping, we get back up, clean and fill the tank for the next lot. It's abit of an addiction! Cheers Alan. By the way, a Melbourne Pet shop can get some Zebras in. About 3 months ago, they had some full sized adults, 2 males 4 females, and they were looking for $950 each if the lot were purchased. Good buy for present, but it would be nice if they went down to the $300 mark. Artemia is becoming an expensive item. Remember Kurt (fishing trip Innisfail), he bought some super small artemia strain from NZ (can replace Rotifers when Barra larvae hit day 5) for $650 per kg. Unbelievable is all i can say. That's just trivia. Regards.

Wetpetz $32.50

Kimbo · October 17, 2005, 08:50:07 PM

are they actually L168 or the L104?

When you find out, let us know :D

I bought mine as a 168, but it looks closer to 104 or 105 according to some googling...

I got 2 from Wetpetz at $32.50ea on the weekend. When Malcolm was getting them out we had a chat and I told him that there was people saying that they'd bought L168's but were sure they had ended up with L104's (I think they are Maccus from memory) but can't remember for certain to which he said he'd heard that. He said that they came in as L168's and was selling them accordingly but there is a bit of conjecture as to their true identity in some cases. Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Bryce.

jamosfish · October 18, 2005, 06:00:23 PM

I believe that they are L104 P. Maccus

I cant find anything that looks similar but one thing i do know is that they aren't L168

dammwoman · October 24, 2005, 05:53:29 PM

They are 104s . 168 are to costly FOR NOW.

Alan Caboolture · October 25, 2005, 09:23:12 PM

Yes we can be pretty certain the little plecos around brisbane were L104,,,Panaqolus maccus,,,,"Clown Pleco" .

But the price was right !!!! :lol:

We may get to see some L168's at some stage, but not in large numbers nor that low price.

In my book any new species isa bonus.....
