I have recently decided to move and although it kills me I will be selling my favorite fish. It can be your's if you live in the states. The price is still very reasonable.

So has anyone had any good, bad, or scary carnaval stories from this year yet. Last night my girlfriend and I celebrated carnival with our capoeira school at the local university. Lots of dancing and some great imported beer that anyone here should be able to appreciate. If you have the opportunity ...

Barbie, Rob, and McEve, I've been sitting back without comment for some time now. First, let me express my condolences on your respective loses. Now let me express my graditute because I will no longer have to experience this tragedy. The water here is like your's, McEve. No hardness what-so-ever. I...

Oops, did I say that out loud?

So glad to live in a country where you can speak freely ... except when speaking freely about substandard businesses, in which case we are free to quickly revert to old world libel-law.

I'm waging my bet with female. I said it first off because it appears obvious for me. Although I am no pro, it seems stereotypical. Perhaps even a model of female zebras ... er ... yup. Urchysj: Surefire method? Yeah, don't listen to the dealers. Everyone wants females so everyone is selling "f...

Wow, I totally forgot that I was speaking on a primarily European forum. Where to start? Obsidian isn't a gem per ce. I'd qualify it as a semi precious stone similar to marble (in this part of the world marble is by far more expensive). Obsidian is a slightly transparent black volcanic glass. Here i...

You're right on the money there. Talk about stating intentions and getting down to business. I keep a dwarf cackatoo in the tank with those two and one night I noticed two large patches of scales missing from the little bugger's head. For a day or so I wondered what had happened. Then one night I wa...

Might I also suggest using obsidian. My zebras absolutely adore the stuff. I have one cave made of it and the subdominant males just sits on it in plain view all day long. I can't say that it's inspired any breeding yet but with two males, we haven't really been trying. Check out a picture, it's pre...

Well good news. I visited seller today. I thought this was going to be a huge pain since we had nothing set in stone saying that I had purchased the fish under the one male one female assumption and when I expressed concerns that they may have both been male he was closed even to the idea. However, ...

Barbie, you're right, I could just enjoy them for the beautiful fish that they are. Originally my plan was only to breed if they would breed without my involvement. My primary reasoning for having one male and one female was for the fish's sake. Life in a twenty gallon enclosure is bleak no matter h...

Me again...

Oh, that was me...

Now that I have everyone's attention. :shock: I recently purchased a pair of zebras from a LFS. I looked them over in the store and was satisfied that they were of opposite sexes. Of course, the manager assured me that they were but we all know what that's worth. Recently I've redoubled my efforts t...
