I got quite a few spam type emails from Zebrazucht earlier this year so I can only assume this person(s) is trawling the pleco sites on the WWW and then spamming people. This is a very strange and unethical tactic in my eyes. If this person is also repeatedly having to set up new accounts (names etc...

When. and how did you eventually pay for your fish?

Thanks

There is not much the police can do, this person has simply offered you more money that you have asked, for an item you are selling. Obviously if you sent the item and didn't receive the money it would be a criminal matter but I would hazard you would not be able to trace this person (or people). Th...

Four L260 for sale

Hi

I realise they are not the illusive zebras but I am selling my four beautiful L260s. I believe they are two males and two females but they still have some growing before maturing. I am looking for £80 for the lot. East Yorkshire is my location.

Cheers

Suppliers frequently (and sometimes deliberately) get L no IDs wrong. I would be exceptionally surprised if these 2" plecs are actually L173 as these are basically L046 and I have not heard of them selling for anywhere near $60 for quite a while now. I would also be curious to know where they a...

Its a shame to see things getting heated but it easily happens on the internet.

For what its worth I have briefly met Paul on two occasions and can say that he seems to be an honest chap who definitely has the best interests of fish at heart.

Cheers

Just for the record, I'm sure most people on this site have the interests of this fish at heart, but as we all know, there is evidence of human greed on every corner and in every walk of life. I'm not trying to be all doom and gloom but the only true way of knowing if your zebs will be used for the ...

Hi Paul, I can see what you are trying to do and I suppose it all links to trusting the person you sell your zebs to. I suppose their price may continue to rise and in another year people might be willing to part with £400 per fish so if they haven't got them to breed then the pound signs might star...

Without going into to much detail on this subject. Often the colour of faeces is most animals is nothing like the colour of the food that went in. Hence, as Barbie says, the dark (blue-ish) colour is just faeces. A good sign that you have three healthy zebras. :)

The last I heard a couple of weeks ago was that the dam immediately next to the Zebra's habitat was being put on hold, but the dams further up the river systems have still got the green light. Obviously this will destroy all the river systems as they now stand. We'll jsut have to hope many of the fi...

Neo,

Surely for 100 Zebras your mate can get a much better price than that!? Boy, I would love a few but I can't push to that price at the moment.

Caesars, Great pictures, definitely worth the five hours you spent! :wink: Some wonderful plecs you have, I can only dream of a 9 foot tank, I struggled to get my current 4 foot (55gal) tank past the other half into our living room. Your 15,000l system plan sounds like that really will be worth a lo...

Hi

I have not got round (fully) to the digital age so in terms of adding photos I personally cannot help, although most other people on here should be able to.

I have never used Matrix so unfortunately cannot offer any opinions here either.

Looking forward to the pics. :D

If you are (or have already) used a courier then I hope it has all worked out. Sound advice has already been offered. However, when using a courier at this time of year you can suffer problems. With fish this valuable I would personally advise you make the trip in person to pick the fish up. Althoug...

Quite a set-up you have Caesars! Would love to see any pictures of it. As far as the nitrate, you've already hit on what you have to do. Cut down on the feeding and or increase the water changes. I find the more regular I make water changes the more comfortable the fish become with it. One word of c...
