Aqua bid auction Identification?

[grizzlyone]

Okay guys, how about some help?

There's a auction for "butterfly pleco" on Aquabid and I'm unsure of the species. Any thoughts?

Here's the link:

I'd say that was a pale Beaufortia kweichowensis specimen.

Thanks Emma!


I appreciate it, but you are still evil for posting such beautiful pictures and giving me a bad case of "loach envy"

I emailed these guys and they have 1- 1.5 Sewellia for $7 with $10 shipping for 10 fish.....I'm thinking of trying these guys out next free and clear payday...

I think you are misreading the ad ... the fish is shipped from Thailand. The shipping cost is $10 + domestic shipping, the latter is probably $30-$40. Double shipping is obviously hard on the fish too, and your are responsible for the shipping costs in case of DOA:

Full replacement for D.O.A. Buyer responsible for new shipping cost

buy somewhere domestic.. It'll ship faster.

these guys are ok.. not great. They sent me an obviously skinny american flag fish.

oh. there's a $35-$40 minimum purchase to most of these sites.
