Not only is it the color factor, but also that they are relatively small, and somewhat easy to breed (compared to many others). The price is due to a lack of availability (no longer legal to export out of Brazil), a high demand, and the recognition by breeders that they are not available but are in high demand.
arent they a generally easy fish to keep as long as water parameters and tempertaure are stable? they are quite a fair bit but they would look great in a south american biotope with discus some bogwood dense vegetation and a few tetras etc... and maybe a few more plecs.
Zebras are comfortable in much warmer water than most other plecos. My set were kept at 88dF. They will do ok with discus, but not a recommended idea. They do not eat vegetation, and need meat, not bogwood.amehel0;833012;833012 said:

It is quite rare to find true zebras in LFS. Even Aquarium solutions doesn't have them in stock, and the owner is a big zebra plec breeder.
