Just managed to purchase myself a Zebra so thought I would join you. Now all I need to do is get it to eat. Tried bloodworm, tetra prima, and just put in some mysis for tonight.

Hi all.
Hi Fishcake
Welcome to the forum, I'm sure you will find everyone here friendly and very helpful.
SO long as there is nothing to intimidating in your tank that will compete for food the wee fella should start feeding soon enough.
Feed after lights out initially, and keep an eye on him over the next week or so for a concave belly.
good luck

The perfect white lie..."Of course I didn't pay that much for the fish honey"
Thanks for the welcome guys.
I got it by chance. A few weeks ago I popped into Swallow Aquatics in East Harling, Norfolk and saw they had a tank labelled UK captive bred zebra plecs £89.99. Sods law the tank was empty. Last Tuesday I went there again and was browsing the tanks when I saw this zebra peering back at me from under some bog wood. Apparently they had previously moved their last one to another tank. I just had to have it.
I think he has eaten some of the mysis and there has been poo two days running. He is currently in a small quarantine tank rather than put him straight in my Discus or Plec tank.
