I have one little zebra who thinks he's an otocinclus. Worse I think is that one of the female otos has taken a shine to him. If anyone in Australia has a spare zebra, my little guy needs it to come and live with him and tell him he's not an oto. The big red thing under them is a red whiptail L10a. ...

You are one lucky duck Chilli; beautiful zebs.

My sole surviving zebra after a nasty pleco disease got the rest, is going great in the whiptails tank.
Unfortunately, I think he is going to grow up thinking he's an ottocinclus.

There are currently 1,157 members of zebrapleco forum, yay! There are 345 members who can't even be bothered adding a country to their profile. :( Many members place city, state, country in that order. When doing a search of members based on location this makes a mess. Please put Country first, then...

Unfortunately I only have one zeb left now. A few weeks ago I bought some queen arabesques who must have had a bacterial infection or something as they all died within 5 days. Second mistake: I must have transmitted the disease on my hand to the zeb tank as in 24 hrs the zebs went from being fine to...

Hey chilli, congratulations man. :D I know you have been after zebs for while, going by the WTB ads on plecofanatics. I am so pleased you finally got a couple. At a wild guess you might be lucky enough to have gotten a pair too. The big one looks a male shape and the smaller one looks kinda female. ...

I must have been overfeeding and even though I siphoned out uneaten food every day, I woke one day to find a white worm plague in the tank. There were litterally 100's of them on the glass. :shock: I made a makeshift tank with heater and airstone in a bucket, transferred the zeb juvis to the bucket ...

It took all day, but I emptied the zebra tank of sparkling gourami (relocated to 3ft community tank), cleaned the glass, took out all substrate, added caves and a platform and a couple of pot plants, and lots of floating little cover plants. The small airstone in the net has been replaced with a lar...

Hello vagga waves Brengun 4293.9km away on the opposite end of Australia.

Chat is under forums, scroll down so I can say hi, and pick your knowledgable brains, live.

I have my 7 zebs in a broodnet until they get eating well and grow a bit. The tank is 50cm and contains 5 juvi bronze corydoras, and 10 sparkling gourami. The substrate is gravel and sand, there are several plants and a couple of little caves ready for the zebs. I am just thinking ahead here, but sh...

Got my new binoculars and discovered I only "thought" the plecs were sitting still. Actually, they wave their little fins, suck the floor without moving every so often, and generally watch everything happening around in and out of the tank. Interesting little creatures.

Not much help to you overseas forum members but recommended to me was these http://www.aoe.com.au/8x32_odyssey.html

Apparently they can focus as close as your own feet, and the 32 means its quite good in low light. 8x means you get to see your plecs 8 times bigger.

My knowlegeable breeder has just recommended not to feed bloodworm until the zebs are 5cm in size. Aparently it can cause bloat in the smaller ones. Looks like mine will have to make do with other foods for a while.
