Default Re: Zebra Pleco

I am getting 4 of them thru my LFS but it took them almost one month to locate some. They allegedly cannot be imported from Brazil anymore and only tank raised zebras or zebras already in the country will be available from here on. At least that is what I was told. They cost me $140 per fish (this includes shipping) and they are a little over 1" unsexed tank breed juvies from a private breeder. You can get some through aquabid but when you bid, always expect to pay around $40-$50 for shipping in addition to the bidding price. Breeders in country are popping up here and there now and I hopefully will be amongst them in about one year, when my guys are old enough. I currently have 3 L174 (spotted zebra plecos) they are still legal to import and therefore a little cheaper but again mine are barely 2" and not breeding size yet. So check with me next year this time and I might be able to give you a most positive answer.
