Selling 3 week old fry!! what a shame..
Selling 3 week old fry!! what a shame..
This was at Aquabid this morning:
http://www.aquabid.com/cgi-bin/auction/ ... 1210053964
when I email her about the age of the "fry" she told me 3 weeks, but if I could wait a "few more days" she would sell 2 more under a separate auction, just giving them time to "grow". This lady had a batch of 4 zebras & wants to capitalize on it rather quickly. I email her not to and just to come to this website for more info. Hope she listens..

The auction closed at $200 with one bid. It is a shame to see something like that going on. Glad she doesn't have many to list.
Ugh I just found the same seller listing this:

Is that even possible?You are bidding on 1 zebra pleco fry (RARE). It is around 1/2"-1". The dad is a columbian zebra pleco, and the mom is a zebra pleco. The baby is a mix of the two, but still has the stripes and colors.
What makes the common person uncommon is common sense.

Baby Fry
I am new here and wanted to let everyone know that I am the person who "bought" the zebra fry. First of all, it was not a zebra. It was a L333. I was emailed by the breeder who this person bought her breeding stock from and he told me it was a scam and she was not selling zebras. but fry from his stock. After seeing pictures of the fry and never seeing a zebra with marking like this, I emailed her and ask about the breeding. I got lots of "stories" that did not make any sense to me and I finally told her that I didn't want a "zebra" that had different marking and did not match my others. All said and done, she offered to return my money which I took and ran as fast as I could.
The breeder of her orginal stock emailed me 2 times and threw the whole scam into my face which I did not like very well. I finally told him I was raised to be truthful and honest and expected to be treated this way. BTW, I bought 6 L333 from him. Live and learn!

Re: Baby Fry
Wow Bonnie...that was a close call. At least you got your monies back. This is not the first time somebody tried to make $$ out of the zebra craze. I was had once, by somebody in Germany & lost big $$, never got anything. Like you said, you live you learn. Good luck.
