First Zebra Pleco

Post by greenmonkey51 »

I saw my first zebra pleco ever today. It took all of my restraint not to buy it, it was 125$ and locally born and bred. I had to settle for a leopard frog plec but its still looking nice, I was hoping the employee caught the wrong plec and didn't know which one was which.

a friend of mine did exactly that about 10 years ago. He got a gold nugget for £2.99 when they were well over £30!

I don't think anyone would be stupid enough to do it with a zebra though.....................
