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

My first was back in 1994-5' until 97
