congrats on the spawn!!

I might be mistaken, but the bottom one looks like it has pretty long odontodes on the cheek.

Congrats!!

I think both are males, judging from the long odontode growth

Thanks TTA, I guess time will tell.

Cool, thanks

Thanks guys, I just vented #2 and #3 (since I am 100% sure #1 is a male). To me, both look like males. Correct?

Thanks

Like the above said, any hypan species would work great as a starter Pleco. So which ever one is cheapest/easiest to obtain would work great for that purpose.

I started by keeping L260 and L66 before going into zebs, in the end what I found to be most helpful with a zeb "emulator" is getting ...

At what size does the vent show gender dimorphism?

Ill work on getting some good pics.

Thanks guys

Everything sounds good!

The sand is fine, I use the same sand (I believe mine is a little bigger than yours and my zebs are doing well).

The temp looks good as well.

Try putting in as much hiding spaces and caves as possible, have at least a couple of extra caves than the number of zebs you are ...

Congrats!!

Hey

thats what I have always seen also. 1/2" to 3/4" just made me a little nervous..lol.

Hi

I have a quick question for you guys. At what size of zeb fry would you be comfortable to sell (if you are a breeder) or comfortable to buy/transport?

I always thought 1.5" TL is a good size to sell pleco fry, but recently seen them sold at sizes of 1/2" to 3/4".

What are your thoughts?

Thanks

I didnt realize this looked familiar...lol.....turns out it was a thread I did when I was researching on zebs..lol.
