Description

These are NOT L037 or L089 or L464 or some sort of man-made hybrid junk fish, these are in fact the Ancistrus sp. �Honeycomb� or more commonly called A. sp. `WABENMUSTER` from German text. As seen on page 68 of Ingo Seidel�s, Back to Nature Guide to L-Catfishes book that was published in 2008.

These were found in Brazil and only introduced into the hobby by accident as a contaminate (or by-catch). More info can be found on these sites: (sorry they are mostly in German cause many have these fish in the USA! ):

My breeders came from spawning efforts of well known hobbyist, Stephan Tanner, who brought these back to the USA many years ago from one of his trips to Germany.

What you are bidding on is one single tank raised, unsexed young, sized at 2� or better total length. Winner of the auction will have a chance to get additional fish at the closing auction price. I have a only a small number of them on hand. . My photo shows some of my adults�simply a bad a$$ pleco you must admit!

I also wrote an article on spawning these guys, if you would like a copy, just email me and I�ll send it to you - sales@alloddballaquatics.com - So if you�re looking for a super rare, awesome looking pleco, that you�ll probably have a decent chance of spawning some day, these are the fish to get!

Remember these are tank raised fish, being naturally spawned and raised in aquariums in our own hatchery, NOT stressed out, emaciated imported fish (which are often misidentified) that just arrived in the USA and are ready to die! These are NOT pond raised or farm raised using artificial methods either, as some others call �tank raised�!! We like to say... Proudly Pennsylvania Produced�,

Only method of shipping offered is USPS Express Shipping for $50 and it will probably be best to use the �hold for pick up� (at post office) option if temps in your area are high . By using the �hold for pick up� option it will help protect the shipment from a day of exposure to weather conditions as it rides around in a mail truck for hours prior to delivery to your home. ALSO, this method can sometimes speed up the delivery times on scheduled 2 day deliveries to late next day. Serious bidders, BEFORE YOU BID, Email me your shipping zip code for delivery times as some USPS Express is a 2 day delivery.

Live delivery will be guaranteed, as long as someone is present to receive & sign for shipment on the first delivery attempt. If using the �hold for pick up� service or a PO Box, packages must be picked up within 4 hours once available at your post office.

Live delivery is guaranteed to you, but I DO NOT GUARANTEE THE DELIVERY TIME! This means I guarantee you get live, healthy fish, if they arrive an hour late or day late, but alive and in good condition, you do not get any money back for the late delivery.

I don't use USPS Priority Mail (and please don't ask me to, saying you will take the risk!) because they are so unpredictable and unreliable. I have already had packages in the past take up to two weeks to get delivered; I will not to take a gamble with living things!!! Let us avoid any problems, headaches, arguments and hard feelings just to try and save a few dollars!!

Again, email me at sales@alloddballaquatics.com BEFORE YOU BID if you have ANY questions about the shipping or ANY other possible questions. Payment must be sent within 5 days of auction end, PLEASE! PayPal or United States Postal Service Money Orders accepted only. There will be a 3% additional cost added to the final total once shipping is calculated in, this is to help cover some of the banking, service and handling fees that I get hit with! THANKS FOR LOOKING AND MAKE SURE TO CHECK OUT ALL MY OTHER AUCTIONS, COMBINE WINNING AUCTIONS TO SAVE ON SHIPPING COST! Check out my feedback...it says it all about my fish & items and the way I do business!
