I think it's just the wording of the original email. I also read it as there being several females and one super stud male breeding with them all!

Just curious... but most zeb tanks are high flow rate, high oxygen, high temp, etc. And I'm not aware of anyone keeping them in small tanks. Would this have any effect at all on how well the fish do, given that it's a nano tank?

How big is that male?? He looks giant!

Hi Parsons... welcome the forum. Look forward to hearing of your zebby adventures as they unfold

Looks like a nice set up you've got. Plenty of hidey places for the zeb as well. Lovely

Leave it a few days. If he's still in there in a week's time, I bet he's guarding babies.

That's pretty bad. But it's a valuable (and I mean VALUABLE) lesson learned!

I had a look in the cave last night. Dad backed up to the opening when I put their food in. So I quickly shone a light in to see. He darted back in and tried to cover the back of the cave, but I still managed to see that the entire back of the cave is plastered in babies!!!! :D I have no idea how ma...

I had to add some more water today (due to evaporation) and dad backed up to the front of his cave for a moment to see what was going on. I had a quick look then and saw loads of eggs. Hooray!

My alpha male has been in hiding again for the last two days. He has never done this without it producing eggs and/or young. I am going to try and resist disturbing him with light this time and see what happens. I've had a few glances but see nothing, but then I rarely do. So I'll just leave him be ...

I move the powerhead nearer to the surface to keep it churning and moving more oxygen through the water when it's really hot like this.

Oh sorry... I DID see the colour/b&w effect. What I meant was "How?!". Very weird!

How does that work then? I kept trying to find the "trick" but can't!

Aaah, now that's the life. Floating around without a care.... Lovely!

What a good view!
