General Comments:
The Zebra Pleco is a dwarf species
that reaches a maximum size of three inches in length. It is one of the many
members of the Loricariidae family, the suckermouth catfish. Due to the great
variety within the catfish category, it has become very difficult to categorize
them by species. As a result, you may see a reference to the letter "L" for the
family Loricariidae, followed by a number. The Zebra is referred to as
L-46.
The Zebra pleco is a nocturnal
fish making its rounds during the evening. This highly sought after species
occupies the bottom of the aquarium and appreciates plenty of rockwork and
driftwood in its environment for hiding. This shy fish should not be kept with
other bottom dwelling fish that will out compete Zebras for food. Ideally the
aquarium should be maintained at water temperatures between 77-86 degrees, with
an abundance of live plants in order to provide an oxygen rich environment.
Unlike other algae eating
Loricarids, Zebra Plecos do not chew on driftwood. The Zebra Pleco should be fed
meaty foods that sink to the bottom of the aquarium. Ideal foods include a high
quality flake food, sinking carnivore pellets, and frozen or freeze-dried
bloodworms tubifex and brine shrimp, as well as sinking algae wafers.

 As
all know our general supplier for aquarium fish LiveAquaria.com and Drs.
Foster & Smith (same company) ended their online sales business, due to
state online sales tax issues. Thus links on fish for sale
no longer work as 02/22/10.
We are changing our tropical fish
suppliers now to "Aquarium-Club MEMBERS ONLY", so please stop back,
because we will have more tank raised fish shortly,
15 years of selling tropical fish online and
safely shipping fish and supplies to thousands of satisfied customers, without any
complaints!!!
