Zebra's In Devon

Just been to an LFS I only found out about yesterday, near Bovey Tracey in Devon, and spotted that they've got 2 L046's currently for sale @ £115 ea.

A bit pricey I know !!

Got chatting to the owner, and apparently he imports direct from Brazil and he hasn't seen any Zebra's on the import list for several weeks. Hence the price

Just thought I'd let peeps know !!

A few zebras around today but much to expensive for me, I must check yesterdays lottery ticket!

I know from speaking to some importers near me that a few weeks ago Zebras were costing them approx. £45-50 each. Obviously there is the cost of the transport but per plec this only amounts to a few quid per fish assuming they shop import a box worth of plecs.

I would say most lfs are making a huge proft on these fish simply due to supply and demand.

Cheers

That's how much I paid for my last few zebras. Expect the prices to go even higher as they become even more scarce.
