Wow,
I woke up to a huge surprise this morning. 3 Zebra spawns! A total of 14 free-swimmers, and an egg clutch of about 12 eggs. The BIG surprise came from 1 male. I was emptying the cave out (since I seen fry) and out comes 9 free-swimmers. I shook the male out, to make sure I had all the fry. And out rolls the clutch of eggs! He either spawned with the free-swimmers in there...or they swam back in after the spawn (which is probably more likely). At any rate...what a way to start off the day!
3 Zebra spawns today!!!

Onds like they have been savin gthem up for your mate.
Arobles, ther eis a high possibility that it would have been 1 male and 2 females. It is possible for 1 zeb to spawn twice within a 10 day period. If the first batch were free-swimming then that would give time for the others to be laid, hatch and await anothe rspawn from the final fmeale!!
Lots of fun!..
Well done Rich

The perfect white lie..."Of course I didn't pay that much for the fish honey"
I did see a female in the cave, courting with the male. I wish I would've looked closer at that time, but I tend to give them thier privacy when they look like they might be spawning. (Except for that spawning video I shot...lol) A quick look would've told us if the fry were still in the cave during spawning. My guess is that they were in the cave, as wigglers. My guess is based on the size of the fry...and the age of the eggs, when I pulled them.
