[gm72]

Got a big error message when I clicked on the link. What is this list?

[Wild Turkey]

thats a long list. Any reason why they are banned? endangered?

[Northernguy]

Are they just banned in the States or are they on a protection list!

[cocoa_pleco]

??? the link says error, whats banned?

[Northernguy]

The link doesn't work for me either!
I'm guessing the list he posted is banned but from where?

[cocoa_pleco]

[Red]

The plecos on the list are banned and can't be exported srom S.A. But the plecos that can be bred in captivity are fine and can be sold. But a lot of the rare exotic plecos won't be able to be found..

[Northernguy]

That too bad.I am sure I wanted some of those!
LOL Gear of War 2?

[Red]

No, i played that yesterday for 3 hours with my friends and got sick of it and returned it for left 4 dead.
But if you see some wild plecos at the lfs i would go and buy them because you won't see them anymore..

[Northernguy]

LOL Not here! If I get the chance to go to a real fish store I will take a look.My lfs has 6 tanks.:hmm3grin2orange:

[Red]

that sucks! My lfs sells fancy plecos for $100+ but i am still tempted to go buy them!

[Northernguy]

Well go get some.Its the only chance that I get to see them!lol
