Think mine was about 50 Euro. They have babies in seahorse at the moment, they're generally expensive though as they tend to be unavailable for long periods...

They are probably still 40/50 Euro even as babies. Unfortunately its often the case that they don't know what size they are until the arrive and they cost the same either way.

If you do want to get your hands on some I'd grab them while they are available as you might be waiting otherwise.

Thanks, but wouldn't pay that for them. Probably come up with somewhere cheaper knowing me laugh

Savage these are class alright, Comonly known as sunshine plec or scobi yep Quite expensive alright , like 2poc said around 50 euro for juvenile. Never seen a larger one for sale other than the one in swords around a year ago. It was a good 7 to 8 inch's with 200 euro on the price tag eyes In saying that it was sold the next day, not sure how much they got for it to be honest thumbs up

Hi bubbles was gonna say this earlier..prob. the best plec when large cause imo they get better looking..the spots stay the same size as the fish grows, so when adult theyre covered in lots of small fluro. spots!!! I have had them in the past 12-14" odd and you know why their called "sunshine" plecs they glow with the colour... juvs are bit like a golden nugget nice enough but adults wow esp. kept on black gravel

Easy enough to keep too as they are hardy as long as no extremes
