Walter those are two nice looking plecos. Why do zebras cost so much? ARe they endangered?? I have seen queens at my lfs for pretty reasonable prices, but never seen a zebra except on the internet. Great pics too!

Some people say the zebra is endangered and is no longer being exported from Rio Xingu (where they live). Others also say that since the river is being dammed up, that will cause a major change in the population of all fish. There are a lot of reasons (I've heard); Next month, I'm going to ask someone who's been there recently to find out which is fact versus myth.

I've also had goldnuggets in with discus, but these guys are REALLY sensitive. I lost one recently because the replacement water wasn't quite right during a water change.

I've never had problems with either Hypancistrus Zebra or the Queen Arabesque getting along with discus. In fact, I think they are even more sensitive to water conditions than discus.

Nice picof the Queen Arabesque ... have you ever spawned them?
