Ya, L-46 pleco's have a very distinct pattern. Looks like a 1" juvie from the size of the fish relative to the gravel.

Between the pattern and the bright white, it looks like it to me.

Yup! It's a Zebra Pleco. How much did they want for it?
I'm going to San Diego next month and there is a place there that sells them. I'm hoping that they are cheaper at this store than what they post on AquaBid.

It's a little over 1" and they're asking $325.

Ouch! I think I'll buy mine in San Diego. I think that they are only $225 there. Of course I could also wait until the Catfish Convention where they are under $200.

Way too much for an unsexed 1" juvie that you'll never see if there's decent cover in the tank. I love Hypancistrus pleco's, but they're nocturnal buggers and seldom visible by day.

$325 is pretty steep for one fish, regardless of how cool they are. You could stock several tanks for that kind of money.

Yeah... that's *way* overpriced imo.
I was really close to grabbing some "vat-raised" guys from Iquitos, Peru. They were decent-size for about $125 each. I couldn't justify pulling the trigger, considering shipping costs and the possibility of losses in shipping and acclimation.
Really glad I didn't do it as I'm pretty certain things would not have turned out well.

Zebra plecos are really cool, but there are a lot of other fancy plecos that are much better "bang for the buck"
