ZEBRA pleco

Question
I am interested in keeping a ZEBRA pleco in a tank with angelfish, clown loaches, and a few other peaceful tetras. Will there be any problem with the fish? Will it eat live plants?

Answer
Hi Ryan,
The zebra nose may occasionally rasp on the top of your live plants leaves and cause some damage.  You may notice clear spots on leaves.  However, they do not grow big and the damage they do is very little.  Some might not even do that at all.  The zebra is compatible with all your fish.  Remember to feed them spinach, blanched zucchini and vegetable matter.
