Buying Plecos back from Overseas

[matubula]

Thanks for sharing Gecko, very interesting to read. Is there a price difference between these L's between HK/Taiwan and SG, or is just availability?

Availability. Mostly. Price wise comparable.

Also from Taiwan, I once had to take out the bags to show the custom that the fish are alive and swimming (proof that the liquid is water and not explosives). After that taped back and checked in no drama.

Thanks for sharing this. Buying fish from overseas is now a possibility.

On the topic of acclimatization, are plecos more sensitive and require 30 mins to acclimatize? I usually do a quick acclimatization for my fishes, slowly pouring tank water into the bag and about a min I'm done and everything survived, except for plecos. Did the same for plecos and most only lasted two or three days.
