nice little ones

I remember when mine were that small, you gona have some waiting to do before they get to a sexable size tho... but you'll have fun and enjoy watching them do this! they will soon become more bold and comfortable the longer time goes on...

any pics of their setup?

looking good, what you done with the L134's? they got a new home? dont worry about the female being in arround the caves, my females hang out in the caves/ arround the caves too and so do other peoples aswell... :wink: hope they start breeding for you soon, but do you not think a 180L tank might be ...

Jo, the first pic does look like a young male and from the second and third pics i would say shes female, she does however, look slightly snubnosed, unless its just the angle? :? if its not just the pics and she is a slight snub nose, if she does spawn you can see if it is hereditory or an environme...

looks like a young male

two of them look extremely small/ skinny. exactly how big are they? i would take the other fish out of the tank or give them their own tank. the others will easily outcompete them for food. :( if you dont have another tank to move the other fish too or move the zebs too, try to get a large breeding ...

No they both look fine, the bottom one looks tiny! have you bought them or are you selling them? because the bottom one looks too young to sell

Hi I have come to the decision to either swap or sell one of my wild caught L046 Males. A beautiful and stunning example of this fish, around 5 years old, wild caught before the ban, really healthy and active, feeding on tetra prima, hikari carnivore pellets, live and frozen bloodworms/brine shrimp ...

hey mate, my 60L tank that i originally set up was going to house 4 adult zebs so i would say a 58L would be fine as long as no more than 2 males! as they will probably fight/ be terrortorial towards each other, even with two males in there... but now i am going to use this tank for some L134's but ...

thanks for your replies, my big tank which houses 10 L046. 8 of which pretty much all adults (4 at over 3 years, 4 at about 2.5/3 years) and two at just about 2 inch. the tank is 36 x 12 x 15 (L x W x D). i have a Eheim 2324 thermo external filter running this tank, with a Eheim aquaball 2210 intern...

Have been on plecofanatics.com a bit more recently and neglecting this site a bit, so for all of you that dont use that forum heres a treat. i brought a new camera a week ago now, and here are some of my better pics with it... http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v347/jamiebaker24@hotmail.com/New%20Zeb...

looks good however everything looks a bit unstable, could easily be knocked over or fall to squash or injure your fish? especcialy the big white rocks??? :? i take it you are planning to put L046 in there? that large rock at the bottom of the tank with 2 caves built into it looks cool :D , did you m...

Good post!

try zm foods, tetra prima, and brineshrimp pellets and blood worm pellets, try to avoid feeding live or frozen bloodworm as the are a bit small and could chooke on it. mine love the brineshrimp pellets best but also try nutrafin max sinking complete food tablets another food that mine go crazy for.....
