Featuring striking black and white zebra-like striping across the body and fins, this species stands out dramatically against dark substrates and driftwood-heavy aquascapes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"394\" data-end=\"761\"\u003eUnlike many larger plecos, Zebra Plecos stay relatively compact and are more carnivorous in diet, preferring protein-rich foods over algae grazing. They thrive in warm, highly oxygenated aquariums with strong flow, caves, and pristine water quality.
