    I have so many BN Plecos I don't know what to do with.

    Albino and Blacks, short fin. They are 1 1/2 inches or a little bigger. I also have some mated pairs, some already proven.

    I will give a good price to all members of this forum and two other forums I belong to. Otherwise I'll put them on AquaBid next week.

    I will post some pics by tomorrow.

    PM me. I don't mind answering questions, so don't hesitate. Even if you don't intend to buy, I don't mind the questions or just talking about them.

    Tell me what you have have. I can always welcome a trade.
    I have traded fish with Fern, before she went all salty on me :-) And with other people.

    Do you have any Guppies or Shrimp, or just tell me what you have. Don't be shy.

    Guppies I do have!!! If you got guppies from Fern at any point good possibility some came from here. Have yellow rainbows, yellow cobras, some crazy assorted stock that is tossing out some plume tails with pink, out of tie-dyes currently, plus some random others. Over on photobucket under "shaysfishys" in the albums titled "guppys" or "sale corner 3 25 2012" are some pics to give you an idea - Thanks Shay

    OK, I don't need to see the pics, I take your word for it; and definitely Fern's endorsement also goes a long way.

    How many BNs do you want?
    Albino, Blacks or a combo of both?

    How much for a pair and shipping?
    Dads not really picky on color, any ones with a neat pattern are always high up on the list though Wink

    Oh how are you doing on the apistodoras? My boss may want a dozen depending on price and such.

    Does he want a mated pair?

    BNs come in black and albino, they also have the calico that have reddish patches on them, I never had any luck breeding those. The calicos also stay smaller than the black or albino. Some people call the black ones 'brown', but they are one and the same, though some are lighter than others. But they do have nice patterns to them, very pretty, especially the blacks.

    I have an odd pair that I put together not expecting them to mate, and they did. The male is black long fin, the female is albino short fin, and they throw all four, long & short fin albinos and long and short fin blacks. A very interesting pair. I love them.

    Let me know if he wants a mated pair. I have a black short fin pair right now that the male is something to behold, his bristles are very pronounced, big and they branch out at the tips, I think he'll love that pair. But get with him and let me know.

    I wish I'd known a week ago. I just sold, and shipping out tomorrow the last 20. Now I have to wait for the little ones to grow. However, if he wants them sooner rather than later, I have a friend in Kentucky that also breeds them and he can give him a good price. All I have to tell him is that they are for a friend of mine. Let me know about that too, we can get him some either ways.

    Don't care what color have a couple albinos and some browns, and if you don't care what color guppies I can put together a great box of assorted. Then I have tank of yellow rainbows for sale think there's 30 at least in there from fry to young adults if you wanted a great project group. The only reason this group is for sale want to do something different with that tank space.

    Yup a breeding pair, Any pair would be fine. He has an albino short finned male that is really clueless on breeding and is more interested in harassing the goby. He has a long finned brown female. So pretty much anything would work!!

    LOL the brown/blacks have cleaned my moderately planted tank beautifully - had to give them a treat for all their hard work LOL not like they needed it - tummys definitely looked full

    Been also giving them a treat of Repashy Green Solvient - they went nuts over it!!
