I have 3 zebra loaches and they are so cute and active. They like playing with the clown loaches. Usually they stay as a trio, but one of them is more independent - when I can't find him I look in the clown cave and he is hanging with the big boys.

They live behind this rock decoration I have. They go in and out of caves but don't dwell in them. They seem to like being in the water current, as they stay around the power filter.

I really like them a lot. When I bought them the guy said that they need to be at least 3, and they would be more active if 5, but so far they seem happy at 3.
