I drove down and picked up the L273 aka Titanic pleco and now I'm regretting not buying the L600. Do you guys think it's worth buying him for $150. He's just under 6 inchs.

If you are looking for more than one and are willing to wait 5-6 months, my last spawn of L600s will be ready for sale at 2-3." :d
If you are curious how they look at different sizes I have a channel on YouTube. Just search for my userid 'Pseudasmart'

PseudaSmart the fry look amazing! I'm definitely interested in a few of those guys when there ready to sell. Do you think the L600 pictured above is worth $150? I really want a nice decent sized pleco for my 125g.

It is a nice one. The price is in the current range. The real question should be: is it worth it to you?
A better picture would help but comparing the photo to others it might be an L427.
