It seems that my biggest male was no good at all so i finaly gave upp and let all my l46 together in the same tank... a smaller male showed his worth and suddenly it worked as a charm!

I´v only been wating for.. hmm 2-3 years for the big male to stop eating the eggs! well... his chanses has come to and end now and the smaller male is tha man in the house now

Som blurry pictures, from this morning!

It´s pretty strange then that they swim around

Congrats-

I know everybody has their own approach to things and that folks get results using different means. I have always felt that a spawning group/colony will yield better results than a pair or trio. It could be the fact that there is competition within a group or that spawning is "contagious". Perhaps once there are hormones in the water, they effect other fish. Whatever factors are involved, I have concluded that a colony is the way to go.

Thanks!

In total it is 9 little ones in there now! I hope they grows well

I´m off to the petstore to buy some more frozen artemia so I can feed the parants some more and get ready to hatch som small artermia for the little ones, but the youlk sack should lats for a wile more so

TwoTankAdmin:
You might have a point here, in my case the females got accsess to an other male that probobly did his job better, the one before with no resoults has eaten all the eggs and is more fat then the females in their best condition

9 is great for a first time best of luck with them baby zebs are soooooo cute did you remove the nasty male or is he still in the tank.

He is still in the tank, for the moment I dont have an other aquarium to put him in, the little ones is placed in a small tank in the big one!

I don´t think i´m going to keep him, i have enough males as it is...
