We bought several of the little beauties about 7 years ago, got them
for 50 bucks each in this great aquarium center in Baltimore(I miss
that place). Had them for a couple of years and then gave our aquariums
away when we moved. Just got back into fishkeeping last year--and the
zebra plecs were #1 on my wife's list--easy to keep and lovely to look
at--it even comes out frequently when provided with plenty of hiding
places. We were shocked to see the high prices and limited
availability, but I know I'll be buying more eventually. I do hope they
start to come down in price, they are always a lovely addition.
