Hi,
I just added 4 Zebra Pleco's to my tank today. I will only be keeping Zebra's in the hope to breed them. I am brand new to this, as I am the first in South Africa to keep them. So all help and recommendations are welcome. Here are two pics, not very good as they are all in hiding at the moment.

Welcome to the site.
Zebras are natural born hiders. Around here the saying is that a happy zebra is a hiding zebra. In a 90 gal with 4 zebras you may mostly only catch a glimpse of a fin of a tail here and there.
BTW- you are the second person from SA to join the site in the past few days http://www.zebrapleco.com/forum/viewtop ... f=2&t=5948

What makes the common person uncommon is common sense.

Re: South Africa newby
welcome here as well Marijke!
Good Luck with your fish.
You've been quiet our side.
Don't be shy now...hehe
You are not alone, nor the first in SA with L46
(hope someoner didn't let you feel extra pressure by telling you that)
..there have been Zebra pleco before yours, and some guys have theirs for about 5y
My first was back in 1994-5' until 97
