you definitely have a market... but they apparantly very difficult to breed... what are your guess at your success rate?

First pairing maybe 15% fry survival, next close to 80% survival, they say Ghost knives are hard to breed, I am looking into them as well

 

[FreddytheFish]

Nope.

They're beautiful fish, but I can't pay that much for one.

just wanted to give you a differing opinion. :

then what would you consider, I am trying to be fair so others can afford these wonderful Pleco

How do you breed plecos?

 

[Ghost_knife]

you have to be sure on the gender of the pleco in question, then let nature take its course, with Zebra you need caves

Don't get me wrong; the price your selling them at is awesome. Its a ton cheaper than what I've seen prieviously. A zebra pleco is just a bit out of my price range for now.

If you start breeding BGKs, I'd definitley be interested.

I'm looking into it, I found a cool article on it but finding a Female knife is terrible, I found one on ebay but the lady would not ship her, kinda sucks because you cant tell untill they are about a foot long on what sex they are

Do you actually have any zebra plecos? I'm not trying to be rude, but have you seen the latest prices on Aquabid? You would have to be rich just to purchase a breeding group, then spend over a year's time trying to get a spawn and raise them to a size suitable to sell. You would be losing money unless you already have a bunch of L046's tucked away that you have failed to mention.

*Edit to say that I hope my post wasn't taken the wrong way. My intention wasn't to be rude, although I realize it could be taken that way after rereading it.
