our pairs spawn every 9-10 weeks

maybe i should feed them more!

1x f0 - at 2.5" - at that size it wont be an f0... the bad has been in place for a good few years now - any wild caughts would he 3.5" - 4"

I cut my hypan teeth on L129's...

I sold the group when i got the proper L046's

It just to happens that the group I sold is now up for sale again by the guy that bought them from me - they are adult now and ready to breed....

every 4 weeks for a pair is quite a turnover.... especially with approx 15 eggs each time.... is there any way you could seperate them for a few extra weeks and see what happens then?

Hey! welcome back!

just couldn't stay away!

I'd happily stake a beer on it being a female!

Reading up and searching forums before you ask questions WILL answer them for you... and you'll be better prepared for looking after your fish.
(all the ones you are posting on contain the answers you are looking for)

Any pleco should not be fed one food alone - a varied diet is a good diet!

I'd agree with Barbie on this one - 2.5cm SL is what i go on (1") but that excludes the tail... got to be about 3 - 3.5 CM total length.

I may re home smaller if i know where they are going...

oh dear - its a slippery slope!

Nice work...

Have you got pics of the parents on here?

Blimey.... Think I would have had to do the same

Its an old thread from when we got our zebs...

I figured I'd update it now that I know for sure what I ended up with...

I'll double check the markings and confirm which 2 are female when I overhaul the tank soon

Blimey - only just noticed this... I actually ended up with 2 females.

"Number 2" is our alpha female

I'd say all male too...

depending on the currency

update...

The alpha male is spoilt for choice.... he's had 2 different fish trapped over the last day and a bit

I had a bit of a rummage about in their tank though tonight - So I may have upset them for a couple of days... fingers crossed for a double spawn
