Like many river fish, the color of a zebra's head can change with age, personality, and environment. Juveniles tend to have a mottled appearance, but as they grow and mature, the stripes appear golden and the dark areas of coverage turn to deep red. Zebra dog heads also have the ability to change color according to their moods. They tend to be dark when frightened and more colorful when happy.
The Zebra Dog has an intelligent, curious nature and can make a very friendly pet. But it can also be extremely aggressive. They will most likely harm or kill other fish mixed with them. Zebra dogs have a sharp beak on their heads, which they use to crush other creatures and shellfish shells. They are a carnivore called a soft-eater, which means they eat a variety of bottom-dwelling organisms such as oysters, mussels, scallops, clams, and krill. In the aquarium they will enjoy chasing fiddler crabs, ghost shrimp and lobsters.
The first recorded discovery of a zebra dog head was by Carl von Linnaeus (C. Linnaeus) in 1758.
