Controversy over the price of zebras whatever next :lol: Thanks stang1, glad to hear they are settling in- will email you tonight when I get home. I did say I was prepared to accept less than I knew I could get elsewhere, but I am only selling them because I need the money so I don't want to sell th...

Sorry should have given more information. Was hoping to get somewhere around the price they went for on eBay. Not to get into a debate about the price of zebs on here, there's just no point me selling them for much less than I can get elsewhere. The only picture I have at the moment is the one on th...

2x 2" Zebs for sale in Lancashire, UK

Had six, three each from two sources, and have sold 4 on eBay for £180 each (the winner wasn't in a position to take them all). The remaining two are available for *collection only*- PM me if interested or need further information. Neither myself or the winning bidder was able to sex the fish so the...

Hi, Think this topic should probably be in general fish chat as not really to do with zebs, but I'm not sure? Conditioner: I use Prime which is the best available IMO. I'd probably stick with the haloex though given you have it already, although just because the manufacturer claims you only need to ...

Sorry to hear that. Can understand why you're gutted, but try not to beat yourself up about it- it isn't your fault.

It sounds like it was struggling anyway, I'm sure if you'd left it you would have just been beating yourself up about why you didn't try seperating it to target feed :(

Thanks Angela, As you say the difficult bit is keeping them on topic. It would mean finding the balance between just leaving them as normal posts (and therefore with the potential to get sidetracked, bogged down etc) and heavily modding them, which would be a demand on the mods. I was thinking maybe...

Grindal worms- what age zebras?

Hi, I have a few grindal worm cultures on the go at all times for other fish (dwarf puffers mainly). I've searched and found a couple of posts where people have fed zebras on grindals, but I was wondering what kind of age/size the zebras would stop accepting them if at all. I'm reluctant to just try...

Hi Dave, That's kind of the point I was making against static articles. Having articles in the forum (as opposed to essay style articles written by an individual) prevents it being fixed and definitive, as the little additions would be added to the forum articles. Mceve's article for example is grea...

Articles Section

Hi, I know it states on the main page you intend to make more articles available. I think a more organic articles section on the forum would be helpful to members who wanted to access information on a specific area though. The quality of information and advice on the forum is excellent and by focuss...

Following the flood of responses about optimal filtration (pun intended) I've just done what I think best :P j/k I added the ecco for mechanical filtration but still wasn't happy with the flow rate so have added a compact 1000 powerhead as well. The DO looked high enough before the powerhead went in...

Thanks for the reply zebraman, glad to be here it's a great resource! That was my thinking with the 2329 given that filter bacteria take a lot of oxygen out of the water- efficient biological filtration can result in depleted o2 levels (you see it with sumps sometimes with high stocking). I've read ...

Filtration required for 300 litre tank?

Hi all, It's my first time post but have read every single post on the forum, so hopefully I won't be asking any questions that have already been answered! I have 6 young zebras (approx 12 month old) on order. I have a cycled Juwel Rio 300 setup and will be putting just the zebs and maybe a handful ...
