i want one.

I used to have 9 of them. Ended up selling them to another person to attempt to bred them.

You want one - then start saving up. No longer exported from Brazil.

They are still exported, just not in the numbers hat they once were:sad

Actually, according to the ICOSA report translation at PC, they will no longer be collected, so the only exports will be fish that were already being held for shipment in Brazil. Looking for tank raised fish will be your best bet, IMO.

Whats up with that, why aren't more bred. The supply is not meeting the demand.

Barbie · Jul 24, 2004

A productive, mature male can raise 7 or 8 fry a month, on average, if you're lucky. They need specialized conditions, and buying a group to use for breeding is an expensive endeavor, without a huge expected return for the work they require. My queen arabesque males can raise 30 or so monthly, for half the money invested, and just as much of a return in income. They just aren't a huge money making machine, no matter how much they're selling for.

What does a zebra look like? Is it white, or just grey and black stripes?

No words can suffice for how beautiful that creature is.
