Hmm they're not local (to you or me) but they're on aqua-bid, will ship to the states, and usually have a pretty sweet selection of plec's... www.canadianaquatics.com

Their is a breeder in central ohio who breeds them. If you'd like I can track down his website. He is usually on aquabid selling red cherry shrimp but he has a ton of zebra plecos. His website is incredible - you should see his setups!

Welcome to Fishlore m-corbett1. You have to be careful over your keyboard when you go to that website....drool and electricity don't mix well.

Its a common myth that breeding zebra plecos will make you rich. Breeding fish in general really. But if you've ever looked into spawning Zebras you will see that the number of fry they produce and the amount of time it takes them to reach sellable size negates any real profit.

Good luck finding them, i've always wanted some.

I heard they give of 9-18 fry and can do it again in 19 days..... and can be sold after 6 months.... are my sources incorrect?

From what i have read, 9+ would be a very nice spawn for a female. I heard the average is 5 or so. Maybe my sources are dated and fish are becoming more fertile. Regardless, add in water bills, food bills, etc...and its hard to see any profit. Without those, sure.
