Do you have any concerns about hybridisation or are the hypancistrus species kept separate?
Lou: Every young man's fantasy is to have a three-way.
Jacob: Yeah not with another fu**!ng guy!
Lou: It's still a three-way!

I never heard about Hypancistrus zebra hybridisations with L340.
Yes I heard about hybridisations with similar Hypancistrus species but with zebras - never.
I keep only these two species in same tank.

I have seen pictures of hybridised with and also with at least. So it should be a concern.
