@Rob:

you could always buy some stuff from the ZP shop.

I know that DATZ magazine have a downloadable PDF on their website that contains a few articles on the zebra pleco. I know this because I bought it.

However, it is in GERMAN. Luckly for me I have a native german speaking partner.

Your local maidenhead aquatics might be your best bet. Although, a quick phone call ahead would be adviseable.

There is no way I would run this baby at full chat I run it at 1/3... LOL :lol:

I can't say that I have had any problems with mine... Seems indestructible. I would also say that it is reasonably quiet. Although there is a faint hum to put up with. Not intrusive.

I overfed a couple of times and ...

@KevinR

Yes, scary indeed! LoL everything in that tank is secure... I don't care about the cost of the zebz anymore, I love them like family now. A death would mean a full blown funeral procession! And an inquest similar to Scotland yard cases!

Yes she is a beast... I call her Bertha, if ...

I am absolutely chuffed for you mate... Well done!!!

After all the trials and tribulations you've done it!

Good luck, the next batch will come sooner than you bargained for.

Happy Christmas Everyone...

Looks like we have been kicked out of Aquarank. :twisted:

You can never have too many hiding places. They will get used to associating you with food, and if you try feeding during the day too they soon get used to foraging. The downside is that water changes need to be done weekly with my regime... but who's complaining, atleast I see them.

Some rules do ...

Good point eklikewhoa.

Easy mistake to make: We need to vote daily people!!!

can we make number 1 for xmas? does a bear sh*t in the woods!

I need to vote again... In the mean time I will be thinking long and hard about what a bear that lives in a zoo does. :lol:

Update:

22nd!!! A few more today and we may make number 1 yet! Come on people!

Even the people that never ...

There are 5 in the tank all 11 months old. They come out all the time... I have lots of photos of them because of this. 8)

I think that F1's over time get used to associating you with food and after a while (6 months in my case) they don't really care anymore, if there is food in the tank or if I ...

Here are some recent photos of my setup...

And before anybody asks... Yes that is a Fluval FX5 connected to that tank. And no my fish are not adults yet. :lol:

Hi Lucy,

The water change thing depends on what your weekly Nitrate test reading is... mine comes back at 10ppm. So I have found that 20-25% water change is more than adequate, heck I might not even need to do a weekly change if I didn't overfeed!

As for BB tanks, mine is BB and it is the cleanest ...
