I have now joined the sad world of those who owned Zebra's (L46). I lost my two,
I started looking at the L236. They are bigger but it is hard to tell how big in girth and length it really is. I think they measure from the where the tail begin in the body to the tip of nose. These are much cheaper ...

I have seen them from $110 to $160 but with shipping that's about $60 coast to coast.

Thanks everybody. I got my zebs and they died within an hour of being here. I am so upset.

The Seller is Exotic finds the owner Blue is extremely bad at communication. I will keep bugging him for the breeders name.

I am not sure if I know the symptoms for worms. My fish have never had them. I did note that some people treat for worms as a precaution.

My 2 bushy's are seven months old. They are almost 3" in the body.

Seller's communication skills are real bad. I couldn't even get the breeders name out the ...

I get my two small 1" zebra's tomorrow. I have the tank set up just for them. How will I know if they need wormed? I bought food listed in hints and tips so they will have a variety. Is there anything special I should do for them since they are so young? I hope to make jelly food for them, then I ...

McEve thanks that knowledge helps me not worry so much then. My three 1" will have to stay in their own tank for I feed my ADF black worms and the extra worms wander the tank till I vac.

I spent last night reading old posts and only got through half. You are right about that some want to sex these early for profit, but I did note that those with the largest colonies do it for the species. That's nice. Me I just read about aggression in having two males and wanted to prevent this ...

You are right DanD. I never thought of the selling of unsexed. I guess I still try to hope for honest people. It could be hard on the males.
I love mine and would not care if there are no females. I just love to watch them. They are finally coming out to eat and seeing they are only 3/4" I won't ...

I was wondering if there is someone or way to sex Zebra's earlier. Could an ichthyologist maybe at the University? Someone has to do this. It just seems like such a guess thing.

I have been looking for 2 zebra young. Why are most of the sales in Europe or pick up only? I would like to buy two zebra's for the fun of watching them grow. I guess I am odd I like the mating behavior more than I like the fry. In my tank fry are protein if meant to survive they will. I really don ...

What is the average male to female hatch rate? Is the survival rate about the same?

Thanks bottom it is or close to it

I assume zebra's will travel all over the tank like other pleco's my AB's love the driftwood but with the zebra's I will need to add caves.
Do I need one cave per pleco?
Can the caves be up on the back wall of the tank? I saw some smooth looking rock that had holes in it. I thought to make a couple ...
