Colour of gravel/sand for Zebs

I just wondered what colour substrate people use in their Zeb setups? All the articles I have read pretty much agree that it should be sand-sized particles but I wondered if the colour of the gravel affects the colour of the zebs at all - some people have said if you use white gravel it brings the w...

I think the fact it's a scam he wont have any intention of trying to go down the non paying bidder route lol! It can be removed by ebay anyway if you report him for requesting a non-authorised payment method (which he is as asking for bank transfer). Or you can do what my friend did, set up a new ho...

What to look for in a Zebra Pleco?

Don't worry - my friend set up an ebay account and posted a bid of 20k so she wont be getting outbid. She has reported the seller to ebay but they have not done anything about him.

Zebs on ebay - warning - scam!

My friend has just emailed me about a breeding pair of zebra pleco's on ebay. She purchased these last week for £443. The seller then refused to take paypal payment. She offered him cash on collection but he refused that too. He would not let her collect them, inspect them or see any additional pict...

One of the pairs I was offered has been sold, and one chap I am not 100% sure about as he seems unable to answer simple questions. The third is messing me about a bit and keeps changing the price. So, would anyone be able to recommend a breeder/seller - to be honest I am not worried about having a p...

How much should a proven breeding pair be?

I've decided to take the plunge and buy my first breeding pair of L046. I have been offered three different pairs all proven but different ages and very different prices. A guide would be really helpful!
