OH...my LFS guy called me today to tell me they got a fish in on trade-in. OH MY GOODNESS!!!! I had to go and pick it up then.

It's in a bowl being slowly acclimated in this picture. I am thrilled with this guy. His fins aren't in the best of shape but I think with healthy water conditions he should heal up.

So...how much is this fish actually worth? I don't really want to say how much i paid for it :o I guess it doesn't matter. I have wanted one since I set up my 75 gallon just never could find one.
 
ARRRGH im so jealous! Just wait until hes healthier, he will look even better!

I've also seen them on websites for around $250.

Very nice. How big do they get?

I could be wrong, but I believe the Zebras stay smaller than most, maybe 8''?

:D

He was forced to sit still for the picture because he was in such a small bowl. Thanks Kveeti!

I'm THRILLED with him. I even named him after the LFS manager! :p: They just knew I would love him and were right. I had even asked them if they could get one in.

I've done some research online and $250 and up seems like an average. I guess then that he was a bargain at the $100 i paid for him. I still can't believe I paid that much for a FISH!!!LOL Oh my husband will kill me when he looks at the checkbook! :cool:

P.S. I don't know which I'm more excited about...the kitten or the zebra! LOL

Yeah, I recall reading that they usually get to around 6". I want one so badly! They're adorable! :D

This guy is only about 3 inches. I held up a ruler to him while he was in the bowl. :) I think 4-6 inches is about where they get. I hope this guy grows some and his fins repair. I do two waterchanges of at least 30% a week in it but think I will up it to 50% to try to help the healing process.
I always thought pl#co's were not one of the most attractive fish but I've come to the conclusion that they really are beautiful in their own way. Between this one and my peppermint pl#co...I've spent more on them than any other fish I have and probably find them the prettiest.
