After 2 years of none stop spawning I finally made time to strip the tank down and fish out all the little ones and not so little ones.
After moving all the little ones to another tank I put all my 9 large Zebs back in their tank but doing this think I upset my alpha male as I not seen him in his cave for the last few wks.
Then the last 2 nights I think he was back in his cave but couldn't tell as his stripes had been eaten off fighting I think then to my horror I turned lights on last night and in the 4 years I've had them I had my 1st loss and found a male stripeless and upside down not moving under some wood
Hard to tell if it was the alpha as couldn't see his markings but will tell over the next few days hopefully I have not lost him and maybe it was 1 of them trying to take over and he's killed them gutted either way to loose my fish
