You should check out aquahuna. I think 9 times out of 10 someone has a display tank in their store, they special order something for that tank. They definitely won't just sell it. That being said, you can talk to the store owner, pay up front, have them order you one in.
I wish they carried it at aquahuna. I am probably pushing my looking in trying to get an adult size one.

If it is because it is in a large display tank, offer to pay them 20.00 to let you catch it without destroying the plants, setup and decorations. Do you think you will be able to spawn this fish? If so, offer to give them 2-3 from first spawn and maybe work out a deal for them to purchase/trade in the future.
The good old rumpelstiltskin you can have my first born. I am going to see what it will take. I would catch it myself any day.

The one LFS near me I had a similar thing with. I gave the manager my phone number and asked them to pass it along to the other customer. I was lucky and that customer did call me and I was able to purchase the fish I was looking for directly from them.
I am going to have to try that. It never processed in my mind that was a possibility. Now I have an “excuse” to go to the store today.

I have had my Clown Pleco for 2 years. I have not seen any changes to the wood. At the same time, every time I assume he is dead because I haven’t seen him in a month or 2 he makes a brief appearance. Maybe one day I will pull the wood out and the whole backside has been carved away and a whole illegal fish fighting club could be going on.

Why not go to a local fish store and request what you want? I've done that many times.
Heck, even Petco will try to get what you want in their next order if it's available of course.
I avoid having fish shipped all all costs. I want to see them before I buy and I don't want any more stress on them from shipping.
Yea, I tried but they couldn't order it. What is crazy is they have one in their display that is a male I am looking for. They said a customer had given it to them before but they wouldn’t sell it or trade it.

My LFS has a Fish I really have been trying to hunt down. It’s a male L134, and by hunt down, just would like one I know is a male without paying too crazy money. The thing is when I ask, they said it is just not for sale. I have 2 females and I offered to trade them for the male and still got a no. Anyone have suggestions, or was successful at getting a display tank fish?

Honestly, I would make sure if you are doing and rocks, place the flat on the bottom. The sand will change everyday as they customize their own areas. The other day I was watching two males throwing sand into each other’s spot as they were digging.
Sometimes I worry when they are digging around they are going to close off some shell opening and suffocate fry. -
I have a group of Multis and they are awesome. They “multiply” like crazy without me even doing anything. I did notice when I switched from a flake food to sinking food, the number of small fry around has gone down. I think I have to tweak the autofeeder and go back to a flake. Are you going to add any other hard scape?

I was thinking last night the "If it's too good to be true" thing as well. I did end up going ahead with it. I've actually been chatting with this guy for several months about fish and he has video called to show me his setups and such. He's given me advice and I've given him advice. I'm not saying these are reasons it's for sure a safe bet but it does make me feel more comfortable. Not to mention, with western union he had to give me his personal info in order to get any money. Again, I'm sure motivated people have a way to get around that, but it's another thing that makes me feel a little more comfortable.
My gut honestly says to trust him so I went ahead and sent the money today. He video called me before I sent it to even show me which specific snails and fish he would send. Honestly, I'm shocked too. Shipping was only $25. I do know that the shipping internationally is actually free. The cost is in customs. Also, he doesn't use a transhipper. Idk enough to know if that is good or bad tbh, I only found out about it from a friend yesterday and asked.
Hey, if it works out send the info, what kind of stuff can you only get from the Philippines?

This thread is pretty timely for me. I have been talking to someone in the Philippines that I'm hesitant if he's legit or a scam. I has video called me and showed all his tanks and even his mom. He doesn't pressure me to make a purchase and often we just chat. It still worries me though. I'm only thinking of spending $40 so part of me is thinking that's worth it to take the chance but idk. He wants to use western union but I've never used it before.
If it’s too good to be true it probably is. The guy I am currently talking to sounded legit and it was going to be $210 for overnight and 3 L134 that were adult size. So the price was a little too good to be true. Then he said he doesn’t know how to use PayPal and only takes Zelle. Then I questioned him how he knows which are male and which are female. When he couldn’t answer and tried blowing it off, that’s when I knew he was a scam.

I lived in Las Vegas for 10 years. There were several very active ones. Mind that I lived ther over 20 years ago so I’m not sure those ones are still around. I never had time to really be involved in them. I just did a quick google of Las Vegas fish clubs. It appears a few are still about. There was one starting in Pahrump (a bit far for regular involvement but a one time fish trip it’s not that far). I don’t know if that one got off the ground.
I will have to see what I can find.

I would love to find a local fish club, but I have yet to find one. I am in Vegas, so if anyone knows about one here let me know.
-
So I have been using Facebook Groups to try and find L134 near me or reasonably priced ones for shipping. I have been hit with so many scammers who “only” know how to use Zelle. Or people who respond once then nothing else. Have you guys run into the same thing?

are red bristlenose pleco's fragile
in General Discussion
Posted
for your initial question I have not seen any differences from super red pleco compared to other bristlenose. They tend to be tanks.
You may want to add some crush coral to help with that low TDS. If I recall correctly, low TDS can cause swings in PH which will have an effect on fish.
Do you have any wood in their grow out tanks? I see it as a way to have a constant food source to help between dressings without fouling up the water with food there all the time.
