good question, appears to be a similar mix as the last batch, saw a few Gastromyzon ctenocephalus, or Gastromyzon scitulus not sure about the rest but they look about the same mix as my last bunch that all died.

Did she order them or did they just come in?
I've scoured my local walmarts and they haven't had hide nor hair of any hillies.

She ordered them specifically for me
My wife refers to her as my "fish mistress" If you have a good fish dept. at your walmart find the department manager and ask him\her to order "hong kong plecos" off the A-pet list. A-pet is the supplier who is distributing the hillies to walmart. PM me if you want more info. It helps to have "inside" knowledge.

okay guys, now get this. I called up my closest petco after chatting with tglassburner and talked to the ordering guy mentioned that I heard that he could order hong kong pleco aka Sewellia....when I mentioned HK plecos, he says "oh, Borneo sucker loaches, right?....I just got 3 of those in."
Talk about coincidence.....They are going for $7.24 each.
Guess where I'm heading tonight?
I must be getting that Jedi mind thing going...lol. I called a couple other stores and no luck...but he said he could order whatever qty I wanted.
