Hi guys, I would tend to agree with Mikey boy but then it works for zeb-plecos-fxu so that proves no sicence :!: Patience is whats needed, I am still waiting for fish to breed years on, it all depends on the fish & again no sicence. In my large tank nearly a yr & half on I have had a few tra...

Thanks for your reply Stevie k They've bred before. They were from an existing breeding colony. The male was the alpha male. I'm told he is not a regular breeder like years ago as he is getting older, my guess is he is 7-8 years olds. Im thinking of adding another mature male to add competition to ...

I have had success with 2 groups of m/f/f, I wouldn't put f/m/m groups buts thats just my opinion I would try a bigger group that is more female heavy with 2 or 3 males. Good luck with breeding them I would say everything looks good with your tank, patience is the biggest thing you may be lucky with...

Your first Zeb fry will be very special to you, well done. :aok: Your L173 I had managed to see a couple of fry & then they vanished as dad had swapped caves before they were due to leave, very strange so I thought they had died, but i found 4 fry at the weekend so was well chuffed, they are in ...

Hi Jo,
Congrats on your zebs, how many fry did you get?
I have had spawns in the past where i had had fry & new spawns in the same cave with zebs with no problems, they find their way out in the end!

I agree with John.

Fingers crossed for you again Jo :clover: I have just come back from being away & had my L173's & zebs on eggs. :D You were right with third time lucky! Yesterday the L173 hatched & I may have a couple or so fry I can't see alot & am just waiting on the zebs as I don't know when the ...

Looks like a nice pair to me.

I don't feed fry pellets only small crushed food like, crushed tetra prima, carnivore pellets, & other mixes also microworm & also don't forget your greens.

Any tanks I have with fry & adults I feed what they can eat 2 or 3 times daily if I am around to give them more chance to grow quicker.

Congrats if they are new fry/juvis, you will need to do more regular water changes if you do more feeding.

My Zebs range in tanks from 2-3 ft & 4 ft which I have bred in them all. I have a large group that are in a 6 1/2 ft tank & I make sure I feed in different areas, I have had trappings but never a spwan that I have seen anyway. They have been in here for a year & some males tend to move f...

Welcome to the site, great looking tank & Zebs.

No worries & your English is better than my Italian, chow

Welcome to the site & good luck with your zebs breeding.

Hi & welcome to the site.

2 & 3 are males, 4 female & 1 a possilbe female.
you may get a better idea if you condition them & see again in 6 months unless they spawn & tell you before.
