I know you guys are looking for green phantom.... but here is a blue one with another cool pleco.... shipping is free as well... so far the price is reasonable...

I lucked out and traded for a blue phantum b4 work today. I got a green phantum too. Word is pleco prices are high right now due to a export ban while some study is being performed.

I think there is some confusion here. Both the L128 and L200 forms of Hemiancistrus subviridis are exported from the Rio Orinoco via Colombia. Colombia only monitors export of a few dozen fishes and these are nearly all food fishes.

Brazil does monitor ornamental fish exports and has a "positive list" of those species permitted to be exported. Brazil's newest positive list actually ADDED several loricariid species. Regardless, Brazil's laws would have no impact on Hemiancistrus subviridis.

Post office temporarily misplaced his shipment to me - we had two weeks to correspond and "get to know" each other a bit - for most of it he was a borderline jerk, kept acting like it was my fault. He has a good Aquabid rating, maybe just doesn't deal well with the rare adversity.

I guess anything can happen, I got a pike DOA and he took care of it for me. Leave it to the Post Office to LOSE live cargo, WTF!
