Mine is doing well at 7.6, was raised in a 7.4 tank. I wouldn't worry.

just be carefull not to drop the fish coz they make a squeeky sound, I know it startled me and I drop one so do it on the floor,

aww, these fish are amazing!




I will try to take picture of there vent when I can get my wife to help me, coz thoose shots up there took some time for me to get ...

I don't know how big they are, but the guy's local and claims to have a sh*tload of them, so these arent the only 3 for sale :razz: I'm going to take a look at them after the holiday.

'zebra046' you are amazing with these photos, thank you so much, they will be a big help!!

:razz: :razz: :razz ...

I'm thinking/hoping this is two females and a male as two are fat and one is thinner? What do you guys think?

Bad pic yes. Can any experts sex these?

Those are great pics, probably the best I've seen as far as sexing examples.

This is asking alot but do you have any full head shots of the male and female like the one you posted above aimed towards the side, but a pic taken from the front perhaps?

Thanx again

:razz: The black is coming back in. :razz:


I was afraid I was going to peek into the tank at a white zebra!~


The 2nd one: Other Loricariidae tank mate are "chewing " on the back of the zebra during territorial dispute

This is the only Loricariidae I have, but I do have a Syno angelicus , do ...

OMG! Completely white I am scared now. Mine is 2.5 inches, and yeah it seems to be totally healthy too.

Could it possibly be the diet? Living totally off bloodworms, nothing else. Any color enhancing foods that they will eat?

Nope, nothing is red. Just a faded patch as described.


It's in 55 gallons with a syno angelicus, 2 other syno cats not sure the names of, 5 corries, and 4 angelfish. I was very skeptic about putting the Synos together with the Zebra! As I only have one established tank at the moment, I don't ...

OKAY. I need advice on this pronto. It's unreal. A few weeks ago my l046 lost a TINY BIT of coloration on a stripe by his belly, thought nothing of it. Since then, has been eating & acting fine.

Turn on the lights today, look to him and right behind his eye, kinda near the gill area, there's a ...

Does anybody have good detailed photos of male and female zebras, preferably together?


Also what is the url to that japanese page on sexing the L046?

The Angel is about 3 inches. Seems to have calmed down a bit since when I first put him in, he actually lays with the other syno's, sometimes even leaning on each other like kittens (so cute!) But ya never really know what goes on when the lights go out. & the Zebra is eating BTW =)


The other two ...

okay but the angel WILL kill the zebra?

Has anybody kept these together?

Would the Zebra be safe with the Angel.

I have them together now and I'm really worried about my Zebra, that fish is my baby, and from what I hear the Angels are vicious and it already snapped at the Zebra once, I nearly had a heart attack.

Okay, I typed this before with a big sob story. I'll just ask.

Will a Zebra Pleco be OKAY along with a Syno Angel in 55 gallons? (I know this is small for syno's but I'm upgrading in a couple of months)

There are two other syno's that I got today as well with the angel, I'm sure you must be ...

I need some opinions here on what I should do here. I got a Zebra plec last week. I put her into a new tank with a new filter with established water and gravel. Hoping to speed cycle it and give her a safe solitary home. I've been doing water changes every other day, not really testing anything. As ...

Need opinions here.

I've have a zebra on the way, arriving on weds actually. Need some adice on the tank set up. OKAY. I got a new 10gal tank. Took water and gravel from my established aquarium. Also got a piece of driftwood and a small rock set.

What I need to know is, should I pull the gravel ...

wow yes yes, good to hear this.

Benny is who im considering ordering this from.

And shipping is a bitch on this 35$, and not only paying it, worrying that it will arrive alright.

I'd honestly rather drive to Long island, I'm 2 mins from NYC, so yes please look into that for me!!!!

Hello everyone =)


I am on a hopeless quest for a Zebra pleco. I'm looking into ordering one through the mail =( Not too keen on that idea but it seems the only way, heh, Do you think it would survive being shipped from Florida to North Jersey?

Also I have a PH of roughly 7.6, and a tank mainly of ...
