RAYISKING, I sent you a PM.

RAYISKING, no, my tank bottom is bare.

In my short amount of time dealing with these guys, I have found that they like small, tight places to hide. Yours may be staying put cause it is tighter than under the pot pieces. Maybe break the pieces even further and stack them on each other, leaving some small openings. That way he can find a n...

Not being an expert by any means, especially after only having mine for 3 months, I would guess the zebs need more places to hide. That's what they do, and if they're hiding, they're happy ! Good luck with them. Oh ya, i might bump the water temp up a couple of degrees, too.

Here's a pic of my 40 breeder tank where there are currently 6 zebra plecos living. Or at least I know I put 6 of the little buggers in there ! The driftwood and plants in the front middle are recent additions. The 3 plants in the back (1 in each corner, and 1 in the middle) have been in the tank fo...

I usually add the stress coat prior to adding the water for the water change. I do this and have been doing this for over a year, including the zebra tank, on all three of my tanks, and I have only had 1 fish die on me in that time, so I must be doing something right !

GlockFu, yes they are.

I don't know how you would tell. It's not something you could even see. It must work relatively quickly, as the fish are still alive. I don't think anything works "instantly", but it works well enough so that all my fish remain alive and kickin !

Stress coat DOES remove chlorine and chlorimines, as per the bottle. I have been using it for a year or so now, and works fine. I add after every water change and when I add new inhabitants.

Currently, I have 3 Anubias nana narrow leaf, and 2 Cryptocoryne wendtii potted. They have been in the tank since Sept 12, and seem to be doing OK. I add Excel per the directions after each water change (2 or 3x a week). I got the plants on AB from Chambers3530 (Heather), where I get most, if not al...

Did a rescape last weekend (3 straight days of rain contributed !), so what do ya think ? Thanx gang.

"better pics" is the story of my life. I need to get a better camera (I believe) to get better pics. The largest of the 6 (upper left) is about 3 1/2 ", the second pic, lower left is about the same, maybe a little shorter, and the other 4 are about 2 1/2 inches or so. I have no idea h...

Anyone care to venture a guess or an informed opinion as to the sex of these zebras ? They are 6 different fish. It would be greatly appreciated. Thanx in advance. http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n29/laxplaya1346/IMG_1841.jpg http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n29/laxplaya1346/IMG_1859.jpg :D :D

Will, I got my zebras last Thursday, and last nite was the first time I have SEEN them eat. I know they have eaten, 'cause the food has been pilfered. Last nite was the first time they have actually come out of hiding without the light being off. I have a single strip lite that came with the tank, a...

Hey gang. Here is a pic of what I hope will be many more, of my first zebras. They arrived on Thursday, and this was them right out of the bag. They have since colored up nicely. Now if I can only learn to sex them !
