You will have to let me know which one says that and see who it is and if it is worth it.
Its pet life by Roberts in Salina, ks. Trashy little store but they ocassionaly get cool stuff in for cheap. Cheapest place I know to buy electric blue dempseys
No offense, EBJD's aren't something I shop around looking for good prices, EBJD's with good bloodlines are worth their weight in gold as far as I'm concerned.
L-46's IMO are way over-rated. They require near perfect water at a high temp. Tons of water movement, and do best in large groups, which requires a huge investment in fish. I'll stick to my panaque's and my psuda's
You buy from a breeder who is well known for quality. (Generally not cheap) they can usually provide pics of the parents so u can get an idea of adult coloration and or deformities. Not saying its an exact science, but if drastically increases your chances of owning a show stopper EBJD.
I see. All I know is that my ebjd came from a breeder in Nebraska... he has bright colors, is growing very fast, and someone has told me it has a" hollywood" pattern (though I dunno what it means).
$200 for a zebra pleco at a pet store at 1" would be a great price. For those that say they are over-rated, have probably not had them. These are an absolutely stunning centerpiece to any pleco collection. I have had a few in my time, but currently am without. If I saw one at $200, I'd buy it in a heart beat. Remember, that if you can afford to buy a group of 5-6 of these guys, the can actually return that money to you in a few years time, and then many times more.
I have some e.bj.d. I would sell if your interested? let me carefree dude. I have 4
