The harder they are to find usually the more they cost, if they were easy to get and cheap, everyone would have one

more like multiply it by 10..... = 1k.... for a reasonable specimen......
very touchee pleco in transit and can sometimes die for no visible reason after being relocated in new tank... guessing they'd stress easy.....

Nah just get a juvie pepp and feed it lots of yellow dye. You might lose a few, but if you use 10 and get the desired effect in one, you saved 900 bucks! (minus the dye)

Nonetheless, $1500 is still a lot for one fish. Just because some fish sell for more doesn't make this fish cheap
