[quote author=Racer96heat link=1224368617/0#11 date=1224839746]I think those zebra plecos sell for like, $200. I'm not sure though, as I haven't been too active in the aquaria hobby for a while now.

I had no idea!! I was thinking about getting one, and I just figured out that they are 350$ a fish. :
Oh well, mabye one day scientists will find a way to geneticaly alter plecos to shoot laser beams out of their eyes.[/quote]
Yeah, they are a very rare pleco now. At one point there was tons of them on the market, but they were all wild caught. Some very strict regulations went in, and all of a sudden the supply was no longer there, and the prices sky rocketed. They're great looking fish, and they get huge! You'd probably need a 20 gallon tank for just one of them.
I've had fish and fresh water shrimp basically all my life. Sometimes I'm really into the hobby and go almost o.c. on them
I've been out of it for a while now though.
Still, watching fish or shrimp is a great way to relax. (Although stressful to keep, lol!)
