Yes, I have even more trouble since I have impaired long vision. As soon as I sneak close to the tank, they all disappear. I keep meaning to contact the binoculars store to see if there is a type of binocular which will focus below a couple of metres. Most of the high powered ones only want to focus...

Well, I viewed the fry and had to make a hard decision. They were indeed 2.5cm including the tail. If I didn't want to do the personal pickup today, they were to be flown to Sydney and Melbourne at the other end of Australia. They seemed very strong and agile, just uncomfortably small. I decided, ra...

I am dealing through a private supplier. The actual breeder is anonimous so I don't know what his circumstances are for selling so small.

I have offered to leave collection from the supplier for a couple of weeks, so its at his discretion as to when he thinks they are big and strong enough to go.

I raised 7 common bns from 2cm (if that), and they had ich the day I got them. Out of 7, I ended up with 2. A male and a female, so that...

I will use cm's as thats what my books have. Zebras adult are 8-9 cms, yes? I have a chance of purchasing juvenile zebras at 2cm to 2.5cms. It sounds so small compared to bn's and my other plecs like L002. I suppose it stands to reason with smaller plecs like zebs 2cm to 2.5cm is actually a reasonab...

Gidday from Australia

Gidday all. I feel like a bit of a dill joining a zebrapleco forum as I don't have any zebras yet. I have looked and looked at all sorts of plecos but there is just nothing to compare, so why settle for less. :)
