Hey everyone; I found this site after searching for information on Zebra pleco's. I'm a moderator over at Aquatic Plant Central (dedicated towards aquascaping with plants) and a regular at Planted Tank and Reef Central, but this is the first forum I joined which is dedicated specifically to one magn...

But doesn't bare-bottom look un-natural? Thanks for motivation!

What food brands do you recommend? Do you think I have too much flow? Do you let the father tend to the fry or do you father them?

Chloramine can easily removed by Seachem Prime; it neutralizes chloroine, chloramine, ammonia, and heavy metals. :) I've heard it is really hard not ...

Hey fellow Zebrta pleco fanatics; I've been a long time admirer of this little fish, but unfortunately, after collecting them became outlawed in Brazil, their prices sky rocketed and continue to do so. But luckily I will manage to secure a trio (1 M:2 F) for a rather resonable price, so I will final...
