I Just got 4 small Zebra Loaches(1"1/2-2") in the mail on tuesday. I got them off Aquabid.com. They showed up very active an seemingly healthly. Luckily they quickly took to blood worms immediately. They are sweet looking Loaches with great color. If any one has kept them before Id like to hear some advice or tip. Thanks

Very active fish, somewhat skittish and may need some dither fish. Danios are great company.
Zebras may eat the eyes of other fish, but it's not that common.
Otherwise your typical loach. Curious and playful.

I have seen them attack smaller fish before and pick on fish that do not move a lot.
Keep an eye on your pleco.

Thanks for the feed back I will keep an I on my pleco but does not let any of the loaches near him or his Lava rocks. I was thinking about adding a group of Dwarf Gouramis to the tank also do you guys think this would be a problem?
Congrats! Mine have found a home under a piece of driftwood but they are very active an love blood worms. Most people seem to only like the clowns but these Loaches have great colors. You should get some pics up when you get a chance
I have had 2 of the zebra loaches for about a year, they havnt ever messed with anything so far and I have never heard that about them eating eyes? They really love the sinking shrimp pellets! and the frozen pre cooked salad type shrimp! well what ever shrimp the clowns let them have, just get a good piece of driftwood with plenty of holes and you'll never see em again lol
