zebra pleco

[elwen]

Hi Guys,

Recently bought one zebra to complement my existing one. It was active during the first few days scavenging for food all over the 4 ft tank. However, realised yesterday that it remains montionless for most of the time now. Confirm it is still not dead yet but somehow it doesnt seem to move at all. Could someone please advise me on this ??

L046 are " party fish " i.e inactive in the day but very active at night ! []. They usually hunt for food when lights are off.

Safe Diving !

elwen, where did u got your L046 from???

[lighter]

Saw a few small L046 at C328 last week, was it from there?

[Vican]

Just wondering what do you feed your L046? and how to feed them considering that there are saes in my tank.

Hi,

Yes, i got my L046 from C328. Managed to pick the liviest one amongst the remaining three and the lady boss gave discount also.

Feed the zebras frozen blood worms which they seem to like. I thaw the worms in water first and then scatter it in the tank. This way there is equal chance in the zebra reaching the food before the faster swimmers.

I understand they are nocturnal but this particular one seems to be extremely motionless. Just checked just now and he or she is still alive but not moving much. Guess i just have to adopt a wait and see attitude since there is nothing much i can do anyway.

My zebra likes frozen blood worms and carnivous pellets!! They seems to have a sensitive noses too, will wonder out of their hiding spots once I drop the food.

Try prawn ! ( those market prawn ). strip all the shells , Remove the poops, rinse with hot water and just drop it into the tank ! hmmm yum yum ! my L046 luv it ! []

Safe Diving !

Allen is right, take your time to read more info, setup the tank and save more money. When season is here..... go for the kill man!!!!! My usual practise.[]
