I was wondering if anyone could help me?
We've had our 4 Zebra Plecs for about 5 days now but they don't seem to move about much, pretty much staying in certain spots in the tank. One of them does occasionally go into a cave but comes out and hides back under some bogwood.
We own several other Plecs and most of them are always on the move so I am a little worried.
Any help much appreciated,
Angie

That's pretty standard for Zebras. They'll be more active after lights out.

during the day they will hang about in the same spot...

different story all together after lights out...

Do you have moon lighting on the tank - Set low enough you can watch them without them being affected.

try a prawn in the tank that brings my zebs out enough to see them,and the young zebs cant get enough of it hehe

Thanks for all the replies.
That's a relief! I'm like an old mother hen when we get new fish, spend too much time worrying!
We are going to get a moonlight as the lighting in the tank is a little bright. Do we keep the lights on for the same amount of time that you would a normal tank? I really want to get this right.
Thanks,
Angie
