i am planning to add a plec this time but just that zebra plec captured my fancy but not my budget
very nice Studz
very nice Studz
are they readily available in the UK?
how much normally would they cost?
another cool pleco.King tiger pleco's (L066, also known as Scribbled Pleco and Network Pleco) are another black and white striped pleco, very pretty and don't grow very large, they are easier to come by than zebra pleco's but are still pretty uncommon but are cheaper than zebra plecos (usually about £25) ;

Erm... not a clue lol, I haven't really ever looked for them
I would imagine your LFS could order them for you, if they are a good retailer
I just knew of a few different breeds that looked like zebra plecs coz I've seen a few people say they got a zebra plec, and it turn out to be one of those blighters
Real Zebra plecs were available in my not-so-lfs a while a go, but I didnt know what they were then and didnt realise how rare they are, as I was only new to the hobby then. I guess I am now only been keeping fish for a little over a year and a half maybe. but I know a lot compared to then
thanks for the warning Bloo.Yep - those are all the real thing. Though be ware - lots of scams going around and have been since the whole export ban / Red Listing thing. Lots of people have lost lots of money.
wow, i would love one or two of them. How much do they cost? Does anyone know any suppliers?Three of the four links had expired as the auctions are closed. The one I was able to open had a picture of a true zebra.
There are two L numbers assigned to zebras as far as I know. One is L-046 for the "standard" one and L-098 for the one with wavy stripes.
There is a wonderful site dedicated to zebras which is UK based and you can get a wealth of information there as well as find sellers in the UK--> Zebrapleco.com
IMO there is no other fish I have seen that really approximates the look of a zebra but that is not to say there are not many other pretty striped plecos. You might want to look for L-034
