Default Zoo Frags

Where is the best place to get zoo frags? I noticed some of the american vendors sell a frag pack with various colours. Most that I see locally are not very colourfull.

Thanks

Marcus

You can check with boB ( aka Bob_I ) ... he is our resident zoo-nut here in Calgary ... maybe he will ship to you ... there are lots of pics of the zoos he has available.

I just had a look at this site, and must say I saw nothing very exciting. Just a matter of interest, zoo10 has two different zoos. He wants $75.00 for it. I had the purple one for awhile. It grew very well for awhile, then receded and disappeared. I also found the other one on that rock among other zoos. I have separated it, and mounted it on a new rock. It is spreading nicely.

I have not looked closely at the prices, but have to say one thing. Zoo prices depend on rarity, exclusivity, and rate of growth. I have always charged the same price for my frags, but I have three that are excellent prospects. Unfortunately they are extremely slow growers. When I am finally able to put a few on the market after nurturing them for three or so years, you may be assured they will be sold for triple the price I usually charge.
