Geez this is weird. I had treated them at 8am this morning. (With the salt and Melafix) and I did about a 10% water change with my regular tap (as my RO water was not ready and I mix it with my tap in a garbage can.) Went to bed because I'm a shift worker. Woke up around 4pm, pulled out the dead one...

Zebra dead!

Just got back from my holidays, gave everyone a water change, and today I noticed one tank is having a problem. Not happy as one Zebra is dead. Of 8, 1 is dead and about 3 left have a lesser degree of affliction. The one that died had very ragged, split fins and a red, bloody body. Looks like it was...

Wow, doesn't it sound weird that someone is trying to buy a fish in the same place the fish comes from? Kinda like having to buy gasoline from Saudi Arabia when we produce it right here....same price mind you. Good luck obtaining your Zebras. And since you are from Brazil, if you hear any news regar...

It's very nice to hear that she isn't forcing or guilt-tripping you into selling them. I am subtle enough to say that if she did, she is selfish and not the right woman. So very good to hear this is your choice. I know I would punt my man if he told me to sell or get rid of something I cared about o...

I wish I had read this thread before all those meds were dumped in. I would have said..."no..don't do it...leave her be." I had a post quite awhile ago about a "lump on the head" of a very young Zebra of mine. Re-read it to see what happened. (The fish healed up just fine and loo...

You were VERY lucky that your Credit card comp got your money back. If you read your "Cardholder Agreement", you will find a section stating that you are not covered for "live animals". So you are lucky....nice CC comp. I once got a bunch of Silver bars "stolen" in the ...

Once you get your RO/tap mix in the tank down to about pH 7, it really can't go much lower than that unless you add chemical....whether acid, peat, etc. Watch your kH. Keep it between 80 - 110 or you may have a crash. Mix your RO/tap with acid in buckets till you know it's a pH of 6.5 or where ever ...

A lot depends on your location. Even if I wanted to part with some, they might not survive the trip. I know a person who tried to ship fish to the UK and they were seized at the border. Really don't know the reason. Good luck with your search.

It's either me or the fish!

Umm...I don't think my fish needs help anymore, but I think I do. Last night I had a "nightmare" that one of my Zebras died. This morning I looked into one of my Zebra tanks and I saw my female with a huge burst of white, flaky stuff sticking out of her head...just behind the eyeball and a...

Oh, and the size of the Discus does not seem to bother my Zebras either. They act like they normally do. And at night, the Discus are like floating statues. I don't think the Zebras mind the big Discus floating around them.

Hi. I'm keeping 3 adult Discus in my 55gal that has 11 Zebras and 4 Ottos. I have 2 large canister filters, and air stone and a powerhead on the tank. I have a calm corner because I turn the outflows down the side of the tank and it happens that there is about 1/3 of the tank that is calm. I find th...

I bought the book last month...not really a book, just photo-copied and put together. But it was good. Good if you need extra info on the Zebra. So yeah, I DO recommend it. Go for it!
