do you have any more pics of the fry??

Also could you describe your setup? I'm looking to get some KT's soon so need all the help i can get

Thanks

All of them are nice

I need something that isn't too expensive, say £20-30 max and something i can actually get my hands on!

I'm pretty much in the same boat...

I'm going to try the L066 i think, just in the process of setting up the tank etc...

Thanks John,

i like the look of the L66 and i think it would be a good learning/starting point for me.

Picked up a 4ft tank at the weekend for £20 quid so will get to work on that tonight

Hi people,

At the moment i cant afford the amount needed to setup a Zebra tank, so i was wondering what other type of pleco i could use to 'practice' with before moving over to Zebs.

Something with similar needs and breeding habbits?

Any ideas?

Thanks

Cool, so a fairly 'normal' shrimp will do ok?

No way would i get a crab, used to have 1 until he crawled out the tank, out of the room and ended up downstairs....which was bizarre.

thanks guys

I like the sound of a couple of those ideas.... This tank will have to be my 1 and only zebra tank (well for the time being) so i need to make sure it's good enough for when i get the small ones in and when they are grownup. I think il scrap the powerhead idea for now and go with your suggestion on ...

My aim is to have the tank setup before i go away for 3 weeks at the end of august which will give it time to sit and what not, and then to try and have some zebs before xmas time.... I have some small 2-3mm black gravel in the tank at the moment, but im open for suggestions on whats best to keep th...
