Thanks ROb it might be a little under 4 inch as i didnt take a measure to it but it is the biggest fish i have and i am almost sure its a female due to only very short odontale growth on the gill plates and pecs. i have fish half her size with roughly the same growth wich i think will be males ( or ...

Whens the new site up and running rob?
sounds great and cant wait to see it.

i have a zebra about 4 inch in size and am almost positive its a female (i bought her as a female) but how old do you think she will be at 4 inch?

i have 11 zebra's

1 large female
2 suspected females
2 males
rest to small to tell

all in same tank with fewer caves than fish to ensure competion from the best fish for the caves so only the strongest spawn

hi all, a few questions for ya i have 11 zebra's in a species tank with the caves etc. all seem really happy in there caves and hanging out infront of them with there fins erect. normally i would be really happy with this but there fins (especially dorsal) have started to take on a blue tinge??? is ...

hi everyone, well done, as everyone picked up i made a mistake entering the nitrite/nitrate readings. my nitirite is 0.25ppm and my nitrate is 10ppm (not 0) it used to be 30 with the oscars.(due to lots of water changes, those guys are very messy) i didnt end up picking the zebras up cos the reading...

yeah i have already drained the filters and added cycle directly to the sponges and sintered glass media. hoping this will work, the level is already dropping but i am picking the 11 Zebra plecs up 2mora so hoping iot will be 0 for morning.

No i specifically left the filters so they kept the biological maximum.
i also added another external filter an ehiem 2126 to the equation to try and settle it down but it has made it worse. i really cannot figure this out. unless the sand i removed housed all the bacteria?????

I am trying to get my 3foot tank established for 11 zebras. it used to hold a breeding pair of oscars. i runs 1 internal and an external ehiem filter. My problem is i took the oscars out and put them in a seperate tank, i cleaned the tank and removed the old sand and did a 50% water change for new d...

Tell me about it, i sat up all night last night making sure the temp in the 3footer did not fluctuate over night so as not to temp shock them. i am excited as i want them home now but scared witless that i will kill them. Keep havin nightmares about the heater in the shop tank blowing up and killing...

i should also add that which ever tank they go in could be temporary if you dont think they suit as wharf aqautics have built me a 110 gallon 3' x3'x2' cube that is going in my lounge as soon as the floor has been reinforced it was originally for the oscars but the zebras take prioraty now lol. yeah...
