Here's some pics of my new L046 Zebra pleco

It's only ~3months old and ~1inch long. He seems to like frozen blood worms a lot. Is there anything else I should feed him? About how long will it take him to get 2inches? 3inches? Thanks.

You DEFINITELY should not feed frozen bloodworms to a zebra this size. They choke very easily. Trust me, I learned that the hard way. Frozen daphnia, cyclopeeze, NLS Grow pellets and Hikari sinking wafers are the favorites for the zebras here. Good luck with your munchkin

Aren't they adorable at that size?

OK, well thanks for letting me know that. I would die if he choked

I'll get some of those foods for him right away!

I know Zebras like lots of current to breed, but would small Zebras like this like some current? Because right now there is no current just the water from the hob filter. I could put a small powerhead in his tank?

Hello

Current is not that important, and a lot of current just makes it more difficult to find food.
Though the oxygene is very important.

I'm not that sure how to read your temperature ?
26Â°C ?

That is definitely too low.

30Â°C would be fine. That's why oxygene is so important
