Hi

Hi McEve

They are tank breds.

I have 2 or 3 years to save up for the tank.

I guess about 1600 litres and even then I'll probably have to get rid of a few.

Take care

Hi

IMO it should be moderated like all the other categories. It seems like it it is very time consuming for the moderators. I appreciate that this facility was implemented in the hope of achieving something. My question is will the goal be achieved if the moderators are readily available or not? Suppos...

Hi

Try the above link, it was posted on Zebra Plec sometime ago.

By the way I'm the Dave, DJH on Plecofanatics who PM'd you about an exchange.

I am told they speak English.

Take care

Hi again

Hi McEve

I will be patient, and I am really trying to be positive.

Males for females point taken, but like for like a different matter.

All the best

Hi

With all due respect, and I do appreciate as we all do the time and effort that you and McEve are putting in. I cannot ever recall having seen the offer of an exchange in sales or wants. In fact the number of sales that appear here is pretty low in number. And when money is involved as has been poin...

Hi

I agree, very generous indeed.

But here is a suggestion, and it is realistic in the UK it's relatively small in size, rather than just have a sales and wants category, how about an exchange category, no worries about cash, 1 Zebra is worth 1 Zebra.

Take care

Hi all

I would just like to post a big Thank You to Ritelaugh off this site, who has just loaned me two adult Zebras.

Hi

Hi John

Well the 20 are now 16, lost 4 in the first week. The 16 are doing really well.

They're in a 100 gal with 5 Discus and I will be moving 4 or 5 to try and breed in the next couple of months.

Some of the females are now carrying eggs.

Take care

Selling Zebs

IMO, the best thing that was can do, as stated by Kingfisher and McEve, is to educate and ensure that we have a wide enought audience, that it is automatically taken for granted that this is the place to get zebras. This will do two things, provide a more even platform and resource for people to as...

Hi again

Hi John Your correct, the eggs are placed in a breeding trap at 5 days at the latest. My reason for placing back in the tank with the adults, sometimes 14 days, sometimes 16 days this is not too exact. I used to move young fish to a growing on tank, but no tank space so put them with the adults when...

Hi

Hi John

I remove the eggs at about 5 days, then put them back with the adults at 14 days.

They eat the same food as the adults then.

Avoid Tetra Prima and Bloodworm at this stage.

I use crushed Tetra Doromin.

Take care

Hi Everybody who has Posted

Hi all Kingfisher with reference to what is sold in Japan and LFS's, I agree this is out of range of this site, and at no point, after reading back did I ever imply it was. I agree with John about this being a hobby, but I can't fault TT's approach, many hobbyists over the years have funded themselv...

Hi again

Hi McEve I am not advocating a blanket ban, or trying to stop people advertising elsewhere. I am not against people charging for fish, and market forces will prevail, more fish becoming available is the only thing that will depress price. IMO selling the fish at an agreed price preset to somebody yo...

Selling Zebras

Hi all Firstly I would like to thank Rob and everybody who runs this site for the effort they have put in. This has enabled many of us to breed this fish with varying degees of success. It is also apparent that many of us put the welfare of this fish above any financial gain, sadly not all. To date ...
