Anyone hear from pleco_breeder?

Post by mistern2005 »

Hey everyone, I need some help. Recently I moved from Texas to Arizona. As part of my move, I had to figure out logistics to get my zebra plecos moved. As part of the move I shipped pleco_breeder (Larry) my zebra plecos to look after. We had an agreement and everything. He was very good about staying in touch and giving me updates, but I haven't heard from him in about three weeks and I'm getting very nervous. Larry and I have talked and been friendly for five plus years. So it doesn't seem like him to skip town on me.

Obviously I'm concerned about getting my fish back, but I am concerned about him as well. If anyone has heard from him, or knows a good way to get in touch with him, please let me know. I'd greatly appreciate it.

He's still around on PC. His last visit to the Forum was Thu Aug 28, 2014 2:07 pm.

I hope everything is Okay!

Thank you very much for the info Dave.

If you or anyone else hears from him, please ask him to contact me. I'm quite concerned...

You shipped him your zebra plecos but don't have his phone number or personal email address?

You are more trusting than me.

Actually I have both...along with home address and place of employment....

The issue is that our communication went from great to non-existant. Just wondering if anyone else has heard from him or knows another good way to get in touch. I'm trying to save myself a wellness check request to the police and/or a trip to Florence, AZ to check on him.

AZ just got hit with major flooding and storms with widespread power outages. Made national news. Maybe his power is out.

Could explain why he isn't in contact. Of course that would not be good for any fish he was keeping though!

Yeah what ever happened with this situation. I think it was pretty lame to leave the other forum members with the impression that you may have gotten the short end of the stick my another member.

This thread is from 2014. I imagine it's been sorted by now.

Yeah I havent been on for a while so when I saw this thread I was like wow I couldnt believe it. I emailed mistern a couple months ago to see if he had any juvies for sale because I was a previous buyer but didnt get a response back so once I saw this thread it made sense why he didnt answer me back. It sucks having to call out somebody but if you aint getting any response from him/her then this is your last resort especially if they were my breeding colony of Zeb's id be knocking on the front door!

May have been an bumped old thread i accidentally added to, I've not been on the forum very long and done this several times! Obviously something occurred. I hope you manage to get the zebras you want.

He just never posted a conclusion. Did things work out or not.
