You do in fact need to get that bue zebra out of that tank or your guppies and fry will become a nice meal for her. As far as what to feed your cichlid remember blue zebras are omnivores.So feed it a good vegetable based cichlid flake or pellet,also try some green leafy vegetables like lettuce.You will also need to supplement its diet on occassion with frozen blood worms or shrimp and even on occassion live food.Rember your blue zebra maybe leaving eveyone else alone in the tank at the present time but eventually they all will become a nice good nutritious meal.So you really do need to get it out of that take as soon as you can. Best of Luck and happy fishkeeping.
