L46 Zebra Pleco

A gem of the Aquarium hobby, this bright little Hypancistrus was and still is a holy grail species that is STILL highly sought after by hobbyists all over the world! Named for the black and white striping pattern along their bodies, these zebra plecos will make an eye-catching addition to any tank, granted you keep the temperature to their liking, high 70s and up. Being a Hypancistrus, the Zebra Pleco will appreciate high protein in their diet and clean, oxygenated water so ample surface agitation and water changes are recommended for providing long term care for these fish. Spawning will occur with males trapping females in caves until eggs are released, but this activity only occurs in sexually mature specimens that are of at least 2 years of age.
