Have you read up on and researched the amount of work and preparing it would take to ship these fish? I think you should find someone local. Try calling a couple of more lfs that are maybe outside of your normal distance yet somewhere you could still drive to. I don't think you want to venture into shipping quite yet.

I doubt you'll actually have 80 babies once they're an inch or two long. You are probably going to have to worry about more like 30 or fewer babies. Are there any more pet stores around that might take some?

Make sure to keep up with water changes to keep the water really high quality... it'll help them grow better and more quickly. Baby plecos must be so cute.
