How dim of me - of course it is... Staring me in the face almost!

Got this little chap from the local pets at home.

He was in with a bunch of gibbiceps, but I cannot figure him out...

Are you flogging this on ebay?

I have bedded the slates further into the gravel so that there is no gap at the base.

Not sure what I am going to do with the tank now...

It was jst between the pot and the slate (not underneath the slate) it didnt seem possible, but he managed it somehow:



Please excuse the strings of poop from my other fish...!

I have some brief video footage of my Malawi Tank:

Sadly there are no closeups.

I am still at a loss as to how I could have prevented his death, but he was just exploring.

I have been going through my archived pictures, and found some pics of my first zeb - brings back memories of the little so-and-so's - this was taken over 4 years ago.

Miss the little bugger!

I gave them their usual clean just before going on holiday for a week (kids half term).

Fantastic family you have there!!!

I am still trading with the local pet shops.

To be frank, at this moment in time I would give up all my kribs, neons, tetras, rasbora, miriad varieties of malawis, etc. just to have a breeding colony of Zeb's.

A Neighbour of mine used to breed Neons and Cardinals in his garage.

Rather than heating each tank individually he made a small room at the back of the Garage and insulated it, then he heated the whole small room to temperature.

I dont know if it worked out any cheaper, but he never suffered ...

Believe me, I would be more than happy to travel quiet some distance to try to re-establish my breeding program...

more Malawi's, I suppose it's one way to overstock the tank.

Could have sworn I saw a Labidochromis caeruleus too, but it was a fleeting glance.
