    At least you never parted with your money and found out after the fact, then you would have a good reason to feel like >>>

    Sounds like this dealer is trying to pull a fast one. Seen Peckoltia Pulcher sell for R150 here.

    Guys if you are offered a fish like a Zebra pleco for anything under R2000 be skeptical. Wild specimens (yes there still are some coming out on special permits) start at around R3500 each.

    Most, if not all, offered in the open market place cannot be sexed. So to get a sexed pair is nearly impossible. Most folks buy 6 or more and grow them out to find a pair.

    Besides Arowana and Zebra pleco(L046), what other really expensive FW fish are there available in SA?

    Depends on what you call 'expensive'... some people find paying over R100 for a fish is expensive while others, particularly some marine aquarists, don't see anything wrong in paying well over R500 for a fish. A fish is only worth what you're willing to pay for it.

    Anything Zebra goes...

    Gauteng has had Chocolate, Colombian, Peruvian and OTHER zebras :p
    for between 160-350 between Feb and now...
    They have been a few other Peckoltia or Hypancistrus species
    OBVIOUSLY , none of them are Hypancistrus zebra Zebra Pleco L46

    @Herve How is Despatch these days?
    I will have more Zebra Pleco soon, possibly TWO sizes, Large Juveniles AND Young Adults.
    I also have WILD ADULTS available, but only as a GROUP of 6+ fish to serious keeper-buyers.

    The above fish are currently kept at my exporter and breeder contacts ,for me. I have first option for this month with fish being available within 4-6weeks.

    @Laracroft
    I will see if I can help you increase your colony:blink1:
