Wow.

According to Planet Catfish, only 8 had ever been imported as of 2005.
This seller has 6 available.
I'll admit, they are very pretty. But you'd want all of them for a decent shot a breeding the little suckers.

Only $27,000 for all of them.

It would be cool to have 1 of only 14 of them in the US! But $4500, :shakehead:

I think they look like someone took a zebra pleco whose paint hadn't dried, and swirled them with a stick.

Those are sweet looking but I could think of better ways to spend $4500.
