WANTED l397 plecos

[vinman]

Does any one know where I can get a few l397 plecos in the United states.

[bekateen]

Sometimes they are sold on aquabid. I think the photos are labeled with the name Leisure Man. He's in southern Washington state if I recall correctly.

[vinman]

Thank You !!!!!!!

[vinman]

I checked no Leisure Man on AB

[catfishchaos]

I know he was on there at one point, did you try leisure_man ?

[bekateen]

Indeed. His photos are marked with the name leisure man or leisure_man, but now that I recall, his aquabid username is Wethumbs.

[vinman]

Thank You, I hope that is Steve Lumblad Of Wet Thumb

[bekateen]

Isn't Steve Lundblad at WetSpot, not Wet Thumbs?

[vinman]

L397 are really rare to find in the U.S. They are illegal to export from Brazil and there is no significant captive breeding of them in the U.S.

The ones you find are usually shipped over from Europe where captive breeding of them is more established.

I can't say I have ever seen real ones for sale although I do know at least one person who has them. Sometimes you see L271 sold as L397 so be careful. When young they are quite similar looking.
