After searching and phoning every retailer in the UK I finally got hold of 4 very cute, very expensive zebra plecs :D

Now for the bad news :( They came via mail and one only lasted half a day :rip: The shop has promised to replace it but this is the first fish I have ever lost through stress. I am now paranoid about the remaining three and although I have lights out and a out of the way place for the tank I have to keep checking they are ok. They were all sitting on top of the bogwood the last time I looked..They are sooo cute :D
 
Fantastic :)

How much did they set you back?

I have three shops keeping their eyes on their stock lists for me at the moment :)

PICS PICS PICS :kana:
 
Great news, and even better to hear you got a group which is how Zebra Plecs should be kept. Do you know how many males/females you have? Are you planning to breed? :)
 
Not good news two of them died :( The stress of being transported in the mail got to them dispite all attempts. I still have two left and the guy who sold them me says he will replace the ones that didn't make it.

They cost me £55 each and one male one female died which leaves me with the same alive.

I am going to be locating more as I intend to breed them...they are under threat in their natural habitat so if people don't start breeding them them we wont have any :sad:

I will post some pics as soon as I am sure they are calm and not likely to die from the shock of the camera peering at them.
 
>>They cost me £55 each..
Thats a good price :)

I hope they all get sorted out - SO sad to hear about them dying :byebye:

We're looking for 4/5 too 3f/2m would be good...

They will have their own tank too :)
(it'll be the one i've just taken my office apart for -
see the "MTS driving me to DIY" thread in general)

Sounds like your trying to do the same as us... breed them and save the little buggers in the rivers :)
 
Mind me asking where you got them from? Wouldn't mind some myself. :hey: Thats so good you have a seller willing to replace them, but I do hope the others are still doing OK.
