I've posted the following zebra pleco articles on my yahoo briefcase.
1991 Insbucker (MS Word)
1993 TFH (JPEG)
1995 Aquarium Fish (JPEG)
1996 TFH (JPEG) (2 parts)
1998 TFH (MS Word)

In addition, I have posted my own "book" which contains these articles as well as my own little article about sexing zebra plecos. It is in MS word format and in 2 parts.
The book is 44 pages long and is very cool if you have access to a color laser printer.

Did you get the correct ph? water current towards a small cave? correct temp? If all these are correct, then shouldnt they breed? Could be that there not mature yet or perhaps you have all of one sex?

Yeah, everything is pretty much set up correctly: ~28 degrees C, strong current, pH really doesn't matter. I don't know what the hardness is, that may be a problem:confused:

I would test that if I were you. I dont think that would be it though. Its mostly because they arent mature yet. I do know it can take a few years for certain fish to sexually mature (syd petricola). I know a breeder who breeds fish for $$$. However, with the Zebra pleco, he orders them, then sells them to other hobbyist's. I asked him if he breeds them and he said NO. Why? Because they have only a small brood per spawning and it takes a LONG time to get them to sellable size. He did say one time they did breed, but it was an "accident" and never happened again.
