I just picked up these two plecos, a snowball and zebra, is what they were listed as. Was wondering if anyone knew their exact species? And, what type of food do they eat? I already feed vegies to my loaches and other plecos, just wondering if I need to add a meat base to these guys' diets. Any info. is appreciated!

Thanks!

(Sorry for the bad shots, still trying to figure out my digital camera, haha.)

P.S.
This tank was "Under Construction" still when I took these photos, so ignore the dirty glass, it's clean now. =p

Psst...Liz, WyldFya won't be happy.:p
 
I would say not a Zebra.. Poss. a L066 (King Tiger) or L333
 
If it is a King Tiger it needs meaty foods... I still think it is by it stubby/blocky head.
