Hypancistrus zebra, known for its striking black and white stripes, is a popular but increasingly rare species due to habitat pressures. It requires pristine water conditions and a diet rich in protein such as sinking wafers, live or frozen foods. These fish prefer cave-like structures where they can hide. Caution is advised in mixing them with aggressive tank mates.
