It occured to me the other day, wouldn't it be interesting to know the total amount of zebras owned by users of this forum...even broken down by country, ie the total owned by the UK or USA owners, of which we could state how many males and females each person has, ot ht ebest of our knowledge anyway.
It might be interesting to find out if as a total we have an 80-20% ratio of males to females or some such figure....
If people are interested in knowing, I'll start.
My collection now stands at 5. Of which I believe I have 3 males and 2 females.
It also occured to me that, at least for people attempting to breed, that it would be interesting to fill in a detailed questionaire about tank size, filtration, temp, number of caves per fish, which substrate used etc etc...
We might find some interesting statistics about peoples set-ups. The basic premise of the idea would be to try and narrow down the conditions of a successful set-up for breeding zebs, especially if we know the differences between people who have been successful at breeding and those how haven't yet. We might find those who have been successful are doing something similar, which we don't believe to be an important factor in breeding, compared to those who aren't doing whatever it is and have not been succesful yet.
Just a thought....

I have no idea, like i said it was just an idea that had been going round my head and seemed kind if interesting. If your right though, that would be great thoughMcEve wrote:Isn't this kind of stats, at least partly, going to be part of the new website?
I was however, thinking we'd just put quantites of males and females down here and for the specifics on breeding we'd do it as a word document or something. Which would then need collating by someone and then present the statistics for everyone to view...otherwise if everyone writes their stuff down here it'll be very hard to get an over all idea of how people are going about breeding them.
If it's created as a word document or something we can then be extremely specific about certain things and we know everyone has answered the same questions...
