Hi Des All the Queens I had are definatly females and the bellys are white. It can sometimes be a little confusing sexing these as many people believe the whole underside should be white rather than just the belly. As stated in one of my previous replies I was 100% convinced all my original Queens w...

Sounds like they are getting it on lol...I have a feeling my new females are soon going to be found in the males caves..they have created a fair bit of activity and lots of interest from the males.

Sid that is great news! If the male has her in the cave then this can last up to 4 or 5 days but my own experience is that eggs are there next day so fingers crossed. I have a very simple caves for mine-two bricks stuck together with the holes in and blocked with some slate at one end. keep me infor...

Hi Sid

Yes I did get mine and they are huge! All sexed correctly and in very good health.

Maybe next time you go to Germany you could smuggle some back for me

You can put me on the list for a cave or two please.

Anyone know where I might get zebra plecs from that are affordable

Sid I have just managed to get 5 more queens (all female) from Tri-mar. The price they have them for is just over £16 which is the best I have seen in a long time and they are a good size. Mine are being delivered in the morning. Hope you get back from your hols in time to have a chance to get hold ...

Sid I looked at the bellys when I first got them and swear they all had marks but now I know what I'm doing (well maybe) I notice the female is white so yes is the answer. Another way of telling is the female is way smaller than the male. The males also have longer whiskers the females are much shor...

Sid It may be some time before my fry are big enough to go but I will let you know when they are. I only have 4 adults myself (got them in a job lot of plecos). They were about 2 years old and had never produced any eggs. I studied them closely and was convinced they were all male so put them in a 3...

The best tip I can give for breeding queens is to put the tank well out of the way of humans and when you want them to breed do a massive water change of 60% several degrees cooler than the tank temp. Once you get them to spawn stopping them is the next problem. I have 8 Zebras at the moment and aft...

At the moment they are going through a breeding frenzy and yesterday found a nice clutch of eggs. Hoping to add L46 to the breeding list sooner or later

Hi Rob Thanks for getting this site up. I currently have 8 zebras and thanks to your site and the odd email t yourself (I'm that strange women who keeps bugging you for fry in Derby :oops: ) I now have a male and female in a cave together for the first time! Anyway looking forward to meeting likemin...
