Very few breeders sell just two. You generally have to buy them in larger numbers, and grow them out. $200 is not going to make them move fast, you will just sit on them. Most of the big zebra breeders sell for $125-150.fishkeeper1;1962514;1962514 said:
there slow growers too? ive got some shellies and there slow growers too are they slower than shellies or faster? and theres some even more expensive plecs than zebras. i chose 200 cuz i heard a while ago they were 350 each?
Sexually maturity and reaching adult size are two different things... A lot of people try and sex them around 2 years give or take, but not by odontodes or vents, it is still a bit young to get it right 100% this way. On average I'd say most people get their F1's or whatever to breed around the three year mark. Haven't heard of anything before 28months/2 and half years personally.
A lot of people fall into the trap of thinking they can breed them and make some quick cash, and then are dissappointed when they find out it might take them 44 months before they've sold anything.

$350 each would be for sub-adults/adults, which will take you 2.5 to 3 years to grow out, which means if you get juveniles, expect 6-7 years for a return.fishkeeper1;1963668;1963668 said:
