Riverwonders has some for $200 right now, but you gotta figure shipping too. $200 is a good price for a true L46. Be careful what stock you add them with though. The can get outcompeted for food by most fish, including other plecos. Best to buy a group and have a species tank or mix with other small peaceful loricariids.

It seems to me that true L46 seem to sell for about $100.00 an inch for unsexed Zebras. It is very hard to find mature female breeders & they will sell for whatever someone is willing to pay. They are available from time to time but at very high prices.:)

200 is reasonable price to start with. And take a few of them too they're stunning in my tank. Im even dedicating a 29 g biocube for the 3 I have left for them to have their own spots however just have to get a stand and I'm all set. If you're looking at cool plecos at a small size compared to different common plecos or just don't want the norm BN - look for the L134- they're as cool looking too.

Cheers
