No, it's not any of the zebs I ordered awhile ago. Still waiting on that front.
But......I bought a gorgeous Blue-Eyed Pleco (Panaque suttoni) at a LFS for a steal today. I posted the sighting of him on the pleco board thinking that I would have a ton of inquiries about what store had him but there were only a couple of e-mails sent to me. Well, I couldn't stop thinking about him and those bright blue eyes so today I called the store and they still had him so I ran down and grabbed him
I have no idea yet what I'm going to do. Do I keep him? Try to exchange for some zebs? Find a breeder of them and just ask for a couple babies of a future spawn? Locate a mate for him?
But I just wanted to share because I'm so excited and he's so amazing looking! (I keep saying him but I've yet to know yet if I have a he or she. I'll be taking some pics and seeking some help on that)
Something new in the tank today!

I'm just as envious on this board as I was on the other one . If I thought I could find another one of the opposite sex I'd trade you zebra fry for him. It just scares me to think of packing up a fish so terribly rare and shipping it. KenW was interested in it also, and is relatively local, isn't he? He'll have fry to trade too.

Agreed I would like to see if he could go to a breeder. All the people with just one in their tank it's going to help the overall situation much. And then I might have "pick of the litter" rights later down the road

I know I would be worried about shipping too. But if he was going to the right home and I was told exactely how to pack it might be okay.
