My lfs has zebra plecos for 110 bucks each. I know that is a good deal, but I was just wondering how big they get? Will they get the same size as other plecos? Ive really never looked into them, I just have been thinking about getting one due to the low price.

i would check first there is a rash of false zebras showing up in the lfs their stripes are more tan then white and they are a med size plec which needs awsome tank care

Just like he said....A true Zebra L46 is all pure black and white stripes....If it is off color then it is a different type....
If it truly is....then buy them all!
They go for 250+ for 2"s
Aqua bid has been selling L46's for $200 - $300 each. This auction is $150 with 5 days left.

Yeah it turns out they arent real Zebras. Im just glad i didnt spend the money and end up with something I really didnt want. o well...i suppose if it seems too good to be true, it really is. 
well said..Scribbles are sold as "royal zebras", L134, L199, L270, are all sold as gold zebra, chocolate zebra, and queen imperial zebra. They are easy to tell apart if you know what a L046 looks like but because of the current export ban true zebras command the most money so a $40 scribble can be sold for a lot more sold as a royal zebra. here are pics of the "gold", "queen Imperial", and "royal" zebras.
