You should not feed zebras blood worms beacuse they cause bloat they are way to high in protein for them. Zebras are herbivores. Here's a good link http://www.cichlid-forum.com/articles/feeding_mbuna.php A zebras diet should not have more than 35% protein check the back of your foods. I feed veggie flakes, seaweed, some cichlid pellets, cucumbers, etc.
