Lowest price for a zebra pleco

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
At the 2010 Catfish Convention, one breeder was selling regular 1" fry for $150, but snubnose/bulldog 1" fry for $75. Now that people tend to think that snubnose is caused by the environment, and not genetics, I wonder if the price for snubnose fry will be higher, if not very similar as regular fry.

The $60 price I was referring to was back as late as 2000-2001. Back then they were still being exported. It's amazing how the hobby changes. I watched fish and reptile markets completely change.

Back when I was 17, I worked at PetCo. We actually got blue eyed plecs in one day. $25 was the price. They sat there for like 6 weeks. We also got 4-5" royals in listed for $29. Now that's a little on the high side.

Reptiles (for those familiar), day geckos all over the expos. Now since the ban in Madagascar, nada. Crested's sold for like $400 back then as well. Now they go for $40

I remember that! I was broke, and $35.00 felt pricey. Kicking myself now!
