Bad idea imo. 260s will bully zebras. For a long time I kept a tank with 2 male 260s, pair of 134s and adult zeb pair. All got in the same box. In 10 month one zeb lost and 3 juvies about 1.75 added. later a pair of 333 were added.
When I converted to all zebs this year and redid the tank I had 2 zebs left and all the other 6- 2 more zebs lost including the biggest.
If you want to breed zebs- do it in a species tank. If you want to keep zebs to have/enjoy them, only mix them with fish that do not compete with them for food or territory and do OK in zebra params.

What makes the common person uncommon is common sense.
