L Plecs - Please Stop Me!!!
I am on a Fish Importers emailing list and they have just listed Pseudacanthicus species L024 & L025 arriving at the end of the month
Sooooo. I pick up the phone and ask them to reserve one of each for me when they arrive.
As I am about to put down the phone. "Btw, how much are they"?
Answer "£150 (R1,800) each for a 5cm fish".
Ok then. The conscience is now fighting. I really want them. Really. Really.
But when the Mrs finds out.......
I somehow doubt you'll find a stern, responsible opinion telling you to give them a pass on here!
Its easy... Buy her an expensive valentines day gift, and tell her you bought one, on her behalf, for yourself :P
The L025 is to die for though
Price in pound? Thats interesting, didn't know the british were big in the fish industry.....
You didn't by any chance see any altum angels on that list.....
Yeah, I should have guessed I am "speaking to the wrong people".Originally Posted by Mzungu

Tropical Fish are massive here. Huge.Price in pound? Thats interesting, didn't know the british were big in the fish industry.....

There is a LFS that I go to that gets Altums now and then.
And there is a Discus supplier who gets them periodically too.
Edit: The supplier who is getting these Plecs is expecting some Altums. No indication of price, but I would imagine they will be in the region of £70+ each (R840)

Yup, it sure is....The L025 is to die for though
(Sorry, don't know how to multiquote)
Eish, I didn't look at your location and assumed you in SA and the importer importing from Britain...... oops!
The company I work for import aswell (not fish), and believe me, airfreight and clearing charges are a female dog! Take into consideration the amount of fish that don't survive the trip I really don't blame those guys asking that kind of prices....
No prob.
Yup, I don't deny it is expensive to import these fish.
I am just trying to justify it to myself.
Altum Angels on one of the lists that I have seen was $50 for about a 7cm fish, geez that's expensive, and bringing them in from the UK I'm sure that they will cost even more....
@Reedfish, I can tell you how you could work it out.... Why don't you go to the bank withdraw the money and flush R1800-00 down the toilet... It's always a risk that you take with livestock!!!
