Zebra pleco

The L046 season is in June/July and you should be able to find them from many sources to look for the best price.
 
$50 for a scarlet is a good price just remember they are carnivores, and they get huge.
 
Believe it or not, Zebra Plecos are one of the easier plecos to breed. Their small size makes them a decent candidate for keeping one pair of fish in a 10 gallon tank, their eggs are large, and the fry are hardy (all relatively speaking, of course). I'm sure there are a lot of hobbyists that are producing these fish.
 
Just a warning, several people have been ripped off by sellers in Germany selling Zebras. The guy selling them has no feedback. For more info, there is a thread on the forums at planet catfish.
