Depends.
Since the ban on export of the true Zebra Plec hypancistrus zebra importers have been calling just about any stripy plec a 'zebra' in an attempt to cash in on the demand for the true zebra.

£10 is a reasonable price for a nice fancy plec, but don't expect a true zebra for that price!

if your refering to the ones on Aquarists classifieds... they are all gone

I was looking at getting some more.

He should have some in next week - but there is a £25 shipping charge

but £10 is a good price - our 5 have cost us £115 total

P.s they look like this...

They been called Columbian zerbra for a long time - Chocolate zebras are another that have had the name for a log time too... any thing else I'll go with Sirs under hand tactics theory

well... normally they are in a 120L

At the moment they are in a 50L to themselves due to moving
(if i get my finger out this weekend i might get their tank home and set it up in our bedroom again)
Have a look at Tank 4 on my website - thats the tank they normally share with some rummy noses and a few corries

they are actually ok in the 2ft. they are full grown now (we've had then a year now) and are just under 3" a piece.


[edit - changed tank number from 3 to 4]

 

[jmaster]

thanx for the help

 

[jmaster]
