tanah4128 Posted December 14, 2012 Report Share Posted December 14, 2012 I'm no pleco expert, but the L144 I have bought had blue eyes:) Maybe I've been smoking something Josh:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Braddo Posted December 14, 2012 Report Share Posted December 14, 2012 L144 are blue/black eyed. Red eyes are albino bn's he is just trying to make a dollar out of it. Scams like this happen all the time. The only thingk is too I dont think l144's have patterning to them? But I think I may be wrong on that.

The Tech Den Posted December 14, 2012 Report Share Posted December 14, 2012 just turned up to buy a breeding trio of l144s,straight away noticed they had red eyes>? i say to him there just albino bristlnose and he says no they are thr red eyed varient??? Perhaps the question would have been - I will have these in with albino bristlenose - how would I tell them apart. I would like to hear the answer to that... There was a person a while ago selling Albino as L144's and from what I understand the story went that the eyes changed colour later on. The problem with someone being scammed or mislead is that they normally carry the story unless they are made aware. Think about if it was not someone that was as knowledgeable would have gone oh ok and then when they bred they too would be selling red eyed L144. The problem is the guy will keep selling them that way until he knows better so if you happen to have an email address send a link to here or similar so the fable does not continue.
