Will a Zebra plec get along with my Bushynose and cories? It's a good size tank at 77g but really it doesn't seem that big once you get the wood, plants and caves in there..

I'd say it would be fine.
Zebras stay nice and small, along with your bristlenose and corys are very peaceful.
Zebras are nice looking, but IMO overrated. There are tons of nice looking plecos out there for a fraction of the price.

Can you suggest some types that I can look for? I'm trying to add some nice color to my tank. I know the Zebra is very expensive and cost reduction would be a good thing.spartan said:
I have kept many plecos, and there is really nothing that compares with zebras. That being said, I would still stay away from them. They are not great at competing for food and are almost better in a species aquarium (ideally more people will do this inorder to increase the supply through captive breeding). Anyhow, if you are looking for pretty plecos, check out the L-number resource at www.planetcatfish.com . Currently I have a L-134, or Leopard Frog pleco. It is a beautiful pleco, stays small, has no trouble competing for food, and is a fraction of the price ($20 - $35).
BTW, I used to have 9 Zebras that I was trying to breed. I sent them to a breeder in California who has had success with them, so I guess in a way I am a Zebra Pleco Uncle???
