Hi,
I am due to pick up my first ever Zebra Plec's on Saturday. ( 19th )
They will be housed in my 190l aquarium with sand substrate some driftwood, terracotta caves, slate caves and amazon sword plants. There are also 8 habrosus cory's, 6 green neons and 8 ember tetras all living in 28c water at ph 6.8.
Filter is a 1450l/hour Fluval 406.

These are the 3 I will pick up, Can't wait.

Regards ........... Gary

Hello & welcome to the forum!
Would just like to point out all 3 have snubnoses, are you aware.
They also look like they haven't been fed properly, make sure you provide enough shelter in their new home and provide enough food!

Good luck!

Thanks for that reply.
Yes I knew they were snub nose, I was told that before I bought them but they were 5 times cheaper than the normal price ( £30 ) & my wife still thinks they look cute! :shock:
I didn't think they looked under fed though.
They are looking good at the moment, very active in my aquarium and eating well. ( Only got them yesterday morning though ) They are spending a lot of time out in the open, even though that puts them in the brighter areas of the aquarium.
Regards .......... Gary.
