Hello all.....

Thought i'd pen down a few words before they kick me off the site since i've never posted and have been a keen reader and follower of this forum!!!!

Well greetings from the land down under and just wanted to let you knwo that i have kept zebra's for a long time now. Lots of spawns ...

Thanks for that Ray and smithrc.......

Good to hear you actually managed to do multiple spanws. Hopefully smithrc your batched will be fertile for the next lot...fingers crossed for you.
RaY...3 batches at once...WOW!!!

On that note can i ask why don't you guys split up the colonies into separate ...

Thanks for your input Ray, because i couldn't find any specific topic on this i decided to post one.

I know you can set up territories etc...but what i want to know who actually has bred more than one batch of zebs at the same time in the same tank.

If you have Ray care to share???

Hi ppls,

I was just wondering if anyone has experienced breeding 2 batches of zebra's in a colony in one tank at any one given time??

I know that the Alpha male would always breed with the 1st successfull female to get into the cave but what happens if you have 2 or 3 other gravid females waiting ...

Hi guys,

I was just wondering if any of you have ever tried hatching these guys from the egg stage? What i meant is once the females lay her eggs and the male fertilisers them, you strip the eggs and try to hatch them. If you have what kind of container/condiment/set up do u use to hatch these guys ...

Hi people's,

Was just wondering what is the largest spawn you guys have got to date or have seen or heard of......

Thanks,

Hi guys,

If that's for real then its a sad loss....

To me the fish could still look fresh even when dead if you freeze them straight away in a container or tub then taking them out to thaw a bit then to photograph. I freeze all my prized fish for future references.

God damn...Matrix99,

With that many zebra's here you could easily put a decent deposit down for a house here!!!!!

Clint

Well, i have 10 in my colony... No idea of the sexes at all...they are about 1.5years old. Guess i better get my act together to save zebra's from exticntion too!!!
