hey lucy, hope the zebra's are well. I have coconut shells in a few of my zebra tanks. they get used mostly fo hiding in and under by the females as they creat a sort of hideaway. the fry like them aswell for a bit of safety. My bristlenose use a coconut shell to breed in, although i did seal the bo...

i would agree with alistair, cover the tank with a damp sheet, turn off your air pumps, put carbon in your filters and adjust your filter so its agitating the water surface, seal the house, doors windows etc and get yourself to safety.
Good luck

Hello everyone. I am desperate to get hold of an adult (preferably) or juvenile King Tiger Pleco L66. She will go into a breeding tank with one of my 2 lrge males and hopefully produce some cute little L66 fry. If anyone has or knows of any female L66 that may be for sale please pm me or post here T...

The internal dimensions for the terracotta caves are also roughly 25mmx35mmx140mm. they are definate proven breeding dimensions as my zebra's have bred in them lol. I say roughly tho because they are not square inside so there are no corners. they are round/oval inside which makes the zeb feel a lit...

yeah i have used vinegar to check slate etc too.....it will just bubble slightly, if it does then it will slowly affect your water ph and or quality. I have also had success with terracotta caves. i got my fish from germany and the breeder was using these to breed the zebs as well as ancistrus, L66 ...

hello again I'm Not sure in using 100% RO in your tanks. I have used RO to breed dicus but have ALWAYS used some tap water to put in some elements as well as ROright. Even if i only used as little as 10% and then made up the GH with ROright. Ro right is a great product and adds alot of minerals to t...

Hi Plastic Yeah i am aware of using the ph stabaliser on the back of the tub. i have been using bicarb of soda which keeps the ph stable in the zebra tank and im pretty sure i too have a spawn but i'll wait and see if i get deffinate wrigglers. as i asumed you were well aware of the ph swings but at...

Hi sid
Are your discus still available?
if so what price are you looking for and do you have any pics i could see nd any further information regarding disc size, age and strain/colour?
would you ship?
thanks
Andy

Hi Plastic mac I may be way of traget here but i am going to come at your problem from a very different angle, at least if im worng it can be discounted. I picked up earlier that you use 100% RO water and make it upto 300ppm with RO right. I too have been using RO water recently to try and trigger a...

yeah i have used the DOW CORNING aquarium silicone too alistair. its the only one i would trust/risk with my zebra's.

sorted it, i dug out my copy of datz which says
"Adult male L66 like other ancistrine can be identified by heavy odontal growth"
That makes a lil more sense, maybe aqualog is a misprint or im reading it very wrong!
doesnt explain their behavior tho, maybe i got bi-sexual fish lol

yeah i have posted on planet catfish and on scotcat but noone seems to know lol I think i have both sex's so maybe i can breed them and then clear up the issue, i cant see why L66 would be any different from other hypancistrus so i'm not sure if the "aqualog" is a missprint. Or maybe Fish ...
