Sorry to hear of your troubles TTA. I now have 13 juveniles myself (must update my sig!)and keep them in two seperate tanks, based on your advise of not having them all togather in case something unfortunate happens that could potentiall wipe out all the colony. I guess in this instance we can see w...

Beautiful tank. Could you please tell me what kind / type of substrate you're using. It really compliments the whole setup (blending in with the rocks and bogwood) I'm torn at the moment between using river sand, or a substrate with slightly larger grains like yours. I think what worries me is that ...

That was powerful...........

Welcome DanD Nice looking spacious setup you have there. Keep reading and trying to acquire as much information and knowledge as possible.

Thanks Yea Rich, all the plecos have settled in real well and are doing fine. Their colours and markings are stunning. As for the Oxford store - I was like a child in a sweetshop. I could have spent the entire day there (and probably have ended up consulting my bank manager at the end of it, lol). N...

Hi all Well I've finally gone and done it. :D After two years trying to get my hands on some Zebras, I'm now the proud owner of seven little beauties, all about 6 months old. I now feel part of the "family" after looking on in envy for so long. I took the car over to England last weekend i...

Happy New Year to all and may all your wishes for 2007 come true....

I've been reading this thread with interest over the last week or so and have had my own personal disappointing experience with Imer. About 4 weeks ago he contacted me to say he had Zebras for sale (i've been trying to get some for ages but they're very hard to come by in Ireland). I agreed to buy 3...
