your tank size of roughly 35 gallons should be good enough to breed the fish and if they have lived there for a year already all you have to do is give him the proper cave the right temperature and good diet also flow rate you can find all this here:

as a person who had his first spawn in a cichlid tank with rocks in the back wall of the tank I wouldn't recomend this type of set up first I have killed several fish when one of the decor slid and flattend the fish luckily it dint break the glass tank also some of the rocks will alter the waters PH ...

looks like you got one thorn in the rose bush the obviuos males is the largest fish good luck try getting another male and wait you are one lucky person.

Good Luck

unless you have a 20 gallon long I would stick to the 46 gal. tank a regular 20 gal. tank has far too little floor space for two adult breeding males you might end up with just one male or two very beat up fish but this really depends on the fish if they grew up together in the 20 it should be fine ...

the best way to collect the fry while theyare still in the cave is to move the entire cave to the new tank or in the container and lean the cave in a 45 deg. angle open side down its a lot faster if you have the male inverted upside down he tends to always right himself and disslodge the eggs and ...

I'm estatic back then when I would get $35 for a 2 inch fish while today people won't even hesitate when you qoute them $100 each and wants to buy every piece of zebra you have, hell thats an expensive fish why would I complain thats what the market wants and I just supply the goods, and when the ...

I got this problem too, because I only feed them once at night I tend to over feed and has a lot of left over, if you look closely in the glass near the surface of the water they are there too but if i start keeping tabs on my tank keep up with my water change I could lessen it very quickly.

I ...

my gut feeling is a female, you have to wait a little bit till she gets a little plump and maybe try taking a good head shot somebody might be able to get it right when you have the whole fish in the photograph.

the male tends the eggs and fry, no female is allowed in the cave if they are not ready to breed.

the zebra will spawn all year long if givin the chance and a male is cpable of breeding just about every week but a female has a 4-5 week rotation or once a month you can shorten the gap buy feeding them well and doing lots of water change, but my fish only gets fed once a day if they are lucky and ...
