Hi

I have a female L46 and it is about 2.5 inches long.

Due to financial problems, i am forced with the painful prospect of having to sell her. She has been with me for about a year and i will be distraught to see her go, but the tim may have to come.

I have been told a few different figures by friends but i would only sell her if it was a very good offer. What sort of value does these wonderful fish have, please PM?

Regards

Damien

You'll need to get it confirmed as a female first...

and at 2.5" it'll be hard to get it right

Post up a few pictures from above and side on and people will be able to judge for themselves

If i decide i definitely want to sell the fish i will post picture but i have done before (about 3 months ago), 6 people said it was female, one person was unsure.

Really sorry to hear that you are thinking of parting with her mate, I know you really wanted to add to your collection last year!

Good luck with finding her a good home, I'm sure you will find one through here, she's more than welcome here but people will probably be prepared to pay more if it's deffo a female than I am able to spare atm.

Kind regards!

gutted this has sold, at the time of reading this advert i had... well thought i had some female pleco's lined up but in keeping with my current luck in finding zebra females the guys wife went nuts that he had agreed to sell them and he had to go back on our deal..... ARG it feels like finding a female zebra is IMPOSSIBLE!!!!!!!!!!

so if anyone has any point me in the right direction.

cheers guys
