i have got a 180l tank waiting to be setup for when i have a few more but because of lack of space (we also breed leopard geckos) i can't justify setting it up for 1 or 2 zebs. so its going to have to be the 180l community tank or the 31l for the moment until the day comes when i can get my hands on...

thats a fair point but like i said i would be willing to let a few go so that wouldn't be a problem. not that i have ever had a problem with them fighting but at this moment in time i'm a bit tight on space to setup my over tank to house one or two zebs. it would be a shame to find my over plecos ne...
