Both of my zebras are at least 18 months old - is it possible to sex a zebra correctly by this age. Why I am asking is because, the zebra I thought was a male doesn't appear to have the very long odontodes and any other noticeable signs of a male other than it is always in the cave.

Congratulations - fab male and great photo

I notice that the Ebayers selling L046 keep them at 98oF - I wondered what temperature you all keep yours at. Mine are kept at 84oF and they are not very active - would increasing the temperature encourage them out more?

Hi Rob

I second Alevans suggestion, Shirley Aquatics is certainly worth a look - just off the M42.

Rob, The shoaling fish that I find the most active and interesting are the Tiger Barbs - the PH would be OK and I keep them at a similar temperature to you - although they might be a bit too 'busy' for the discus and they are known for 'fin nipping' although in my tank because I have 15 of them they...

I love the webcam, many thanks McEve, I have missed it. Let us know when you are going to give them there vegetables, I know what I'm doing tonight now

Perhaps I'll leave it and wait for the next time you have a competition!!

Congratulations, Adam - very pretty

What 'L' number is it?

Ooooooooooooooooh - that's adorable - keep the pictures coming and we can watch him grow up.

Sorry to hear of your loss, McEve - very sad

Thank you for your replies. I agree with your comments on the Hydor, I have tried it in all my tanks with no success, I just thought somebody might have some suggestions. I only have the two zebras/2 cory in a Jewel 70 and all water test are fine - I had read that oxygen levels were of paramount imp...

Hi, I purchased an O2 Tetra test kit and was surprised to find that the reading showed only 2mgl in the zebra tank. I have an internal fluval and an external Eheim with spray bar together with an air pump. From previous posts I accept that this is not high enough and would like to use my Hydor 4 whi...

Tom, just a thought, no sprays/painting/smoking etc going on around the tank?

I've tried and tried to get mine to eat cucumber and they don't touch it - havn't tried putting garlic on it yet, so will give that a try because I feel veggies must be good for them
