Re: Zebra fry in trap.

Re: 7th spawn kicked out are eggs ok ???

On many occasions I have placed both eggs & wigglers back into their cave with the male. I do this with a turkey baster. If your breeding caves are level this is a common problem. I usually place a ceramic tile under the front of the cave. By elevating the front gravity will help the male keep e...

Re: L134

I usually try to elevate the front of their breeding cave about 1/4"-1/2". 1 like to use a small ceramic or slate tile. Gravity definitely helps but every once in a while they still manage to kick out an egg that I place in a breeding net.

Re: At what size?

Are there any people raising zebras & keeping them for future breeding ?. Is 3-4 years too long to wait for maturity?

Re: Mystery Snails

Last night I saw my mystery snail & he is alive & well. I believe what I thought was the snails body might have been the remains to an algae wafer. Regarding you saying that Zebras will eat smaller snails, do you know if they would eat malasian trumpet snails? I have a fry grow out tank with...
