I still have my single fry in a tank on its own. All currently appears to be ok. The parents have not spawned again as of yet. Seems they only laid a few eggs last time considering I only got one baby !

Thanks for your reply Rod47. The young fry I lost last time must have been a fair age as it looked just like a mini zebra - way past the fry with an egg sack stage. I lost it about 3 days after I first saw it. The tank is quite a hostile environment as the zebras share with a ground of leopard frogs...

Wonder if anyone can help. About 6 months ago I suddenly found a baby zebra in my tank. The tank has 3 zebras - one of which is pretty elderly and 4 leapard frog plecos. Sadly after about 4 days of spotting the youngster it died. It must have been a fair age because it looked like a real mini zebra....

Thats right the pumpkin :lol: Sounds like you are adding some new technology to your tanks- just make sure you get a good flow rate with your filters- loosing two of my three zebras when I swapped to a filter with a lower flow rate than I had thought still is the worst day of my fishkeeping life :cry:

SmithRC well some would have said I was the so that would make me PP but hey just followed the mission statement on that one.
I am just really pleased for both yourself, Zerberdy? and everyone else that has made the breeding of this beautiful fish a priority.
Well done

Right well thats interesting - it means my friend has potentially another 5-6 years of her fish !
I did laugh about the gay zebra lol

I was just thinking about the age of fish hence the title- OAP- Old Age Pensioner ! What is the accepted age of a long lived Zebra? A friend has had one for oh it must be 10 years - its always lived alone in a tank with some guppies or other standard fish never suffered any ills and still seems in f...

I like I guess alot of people get confused by the TDS thing. When you take water from the tap and check the TDS I guess your basically measuring hardness, minerals etc on the water. Once that tapwater is in your tank and it is having fish wastes etc added to it you have a much higher TDS over time. ...

SmithRC I am really pleased to have read of your success with your zebra breeding project. I read about your early attempts when I was an admin on fishouseforum and so I am really pleased you have progressed to this degree. Congrats dear boy and may your success continue.

Oh right well that sounds far from ideal, the site could attract any number of adverts which could be judged inappropriate for a site such as this.

I have visited this site for a while now and only just got round to signing up. I am very impressed that a number of forum members breed Zebra Plecs and it pleases me greatly to think they will survive even if not in the wild. Anyway my concerns- and its just a small one regarding the forum and site...
