Wanted female zebs, cash waiting or can swap for young homebred zebs.
Thanks

Don't worry. Dad will let them out at night for searching food. The fries will come back and stay in the cave with their dad during the day time. I have a couple fries who are 2 months old and still like to stay with their dad during the day time

Hi, thanks for your advice, think i might give the insurance claim a go, nothing to lose.But getting the details out of them might be difficult.
Thanks Al

Hi, just an update, well after quite a few emails and the odd phone call Ruto still say they will give me some cash towards a new fish .Thanks Al

Hi Elaine, i had a female exactly doing the same in my large males cave and he just wouldn't let her in.Anyway about 2 months later she was in with him for about 5 days and spawned.A month later she was spawning again.So patience is the key , signs are good. Al.

Hi, still looking for a female zebra to add to my colony.Willing to part with cash or swap for adult males or young zebs.
Thanks Al

Hi, just an update. The female remained in the cave for approx 6 nights and whilst in there , swapped into various positions.In the end she was tucked up right in the back of the cave and could not be seen.
But the good news is , the male is certainly on eggs.
Fingers crossed Al

Hi ,Thanks everyone for your replies,this is their first time, so i will see what happens. Thanks Al

Hi ,can anybody tell me when a male traps a female should the fish be lying opposite. e.g Male with his tale sticking slightly out of the opening of his cave ,with the females tail at the back of the cave and head facing towards the opening. Hope this makes sense.
Thanks Al

Hi, First thanks for your concern.I rang Ruto today in Holland and explained what had happened and that i had taken photos of the fish and that i also still have the fish frozen in my freezer.I also had the blister pack which the bloodworms were in.They seemed very concerned and said that this was ...

Hello, I have come home from work today to find one of my mature female zebs dead in the tank with a Leech sticking out of her mouth.She had tried to eat it and choked.The only place this has come from is a cube of Ruto frozen bloodworm,that i fed the fish last night.I normally let the worms ...

Hi Tracey, great to see those pics of your females and maybe give people some hope that they actually have Hairy females and not males.I have a fish just like your large female, a large fish that i was sure was a female, but recently she has started turning a little hairy so not so sure now.
Thanks Al
