I am looking for some expressing Half Blacks in std and veil. Probably won't get a chance until Chicago though.

I have albino ancistrus, SF albino blue eyed L144's and LF albino blue eyed L 144's. They are about 1 1/2". Ancistrus and L144's are not the same. Ancistrus are bigger and pretty ugly in their beautiful way. Which would you like or would you like some of all 3. ;D Are you going to Milwaukee? I will bring some if you are.

I have the blue eyes you are looking for. I also have what has been described as albino ancistrus. A red eyed slightly larger more aggressive semi onivorous pleco type. The L144's tend to not have large cats paws, these guy have huge cat paws.  This type may be described by another number now. There is a difference but I'm not sure everyone is recognizing it and may be producing hybrids. On planet catfish they show one of these as an L144.  The L144's are relatively gentle, need more pant matter and are a prettier and softer looking fish.

What do you mean by cat paws?
Are you going to sell at the swap Jon? I'm thinking of going. I need to get more food from Captain Bob.

The barbs on the sides of their faces that hook them into the caves etc are refered to as cat paws. They are sharp and extend to look just like one. The big albino ancistrus have them and they look like tigers claws. I'll make a thread describing them plecs I have or add to another one.

Let me know what you would like Jon. Last GCCA swap I put out 6 bags of 4 at $20 each and at 9:45 I had them all sold and gone. These two young guys went out and had a fight in the thunder dome over the last bag I think. I'd have to hide some for you.
