Yes these are nice when they are young, but I think the coloration gets more muddy as adults. L114/600 are similar, and the coloration stays when they become adults (and are cheaper).

Otherwise, aquabid:

I don't the the OP is looking for L273 which appears to be the aquabid link? LDA105 are going to be several times more expensive.

Ooops. My mistake (I thought L273 were also Typhoons).
Don't see one on Aquabid. Wetspot nor Batfish Aquatics doesn't seem to have some (though maybe if you contact them, they can try to find one for you). Maybe one of the vendors or participants of the October catfish convention may have a lead?

Nice fish! I just checked out the Cat-eLog page for this one. Then scrolling through the pics I hit the wrong tab and accidently added it to my cats! I removed it obviously but still a very nice fish to have.

It really is stunning.....live videos by Timor Schellenberg on Facebook.
I thought the L25 was something else, but this fish blows them away!

I know someone who had a couple, cost him a lot of money though.
