Looks Like 5th Spawn is here

Post by TwoTankAmin »

I am about 99% sure the alpha male is on eggs. That is the fifth spawn since they resumed in June.

Every time I think I can pull the breeder tank apart to pull some offspring, they go again. I sure hope they have as long a run this time as the last one. If so I will be forced to do a fry hunt despite having a spawn being tended :-)

I did manage to get 9 smaller fry out of the breeder tank afew weeks back when they got into the HOT Mag filter where I found them.

Hi TT, they obviously don't want you in their domain! Congrats on (hopefully) another spawn :shock:
These are beautiful little babes!

Well done...although I guess that should be more aimed at your fish than yourself lol.

Anyway, congratulations...you can never have enough spawns. Mine have just had another after a long break also. :D

For sure the fish deserve all the credit.

All I do is feed em and clean their tank and change their water. I don't do anything to induce them to spawn beyond that. Which is why I must be the luckiest zebra breeder out there and which attests to the fact that they are not so hard a fish to spawn in the long run. Especially when there is a site like this and folks like Barbie to help :)
