Zebras are my biggest love and i try to breed them the last 10 months.I had a great loss in the past summer of 2 of my females (due to a filter malfunction) just after the end of the dry-seasson simulation and for my bad luck they were both full of well developed eggs (ready to be borned).I will post some pics later on.
Now i have 2 Males and 2 smaller zebras (not sure about their gender yet).
I am planning on getting 2-4 new speciments during the next 2 months but it is very difficult to find here....
Once again,nice to find you guys!!!!!!!!!!!!!
p.s. and something that i forgot!I 've notice that i have member number 46!!!!I take it as a goos sign!!!
Hello from Greece!
Hi Husky Jim and welcome to the forum.
That's an impressive collection you have, nice to see quite a few L numbers in there. Sorry to hear about the loss of your two females, lets hope you find some replacements soon.Hmmmmm, member number 46 that's sure to be a good omen.
Good luck with the zebras and I hope you enjoy your time on the forum.

Hi husky-jim
Glad you found the forum. Must agree with Adam, very impressive collection of L No's there, that must be quite a set up you have.
Hope the forum is sueful to you, and with any luck you'll be breeding zerbas in no time.
As for being meber no. 46, I wish I could send you a prize, but I don't think a zebra fry would make it through the post!!!
cheers

thanks for your welcome guys!!!
***Adam: There are some zebras available here but they have outrageous price! 422,52 Euros each!!!! I think that this is the most expensive price for zebras in the world!
p.s.They are juvenile and captive breed.
***Rob: Don't temped me.I will come there to pick them myself....
***Des: I have many tanks even in the kitchen but now i am building a 'fish-room'.I have heard about the 'ban' thing and i am very worried.What do you guys think for the Zebra future?
p.s. Yesterday i got a pair of Ancistrus Taboencis.(the "family" is growing )
Here some pics from my dead females displaying the eggs.Believe me i was crying that day and it was a very "painfull" procedure to cut them....
female1....
both females.....

Nice to see you also here man.After several tests from water i kept before i did the 90% water change in order to save the rest i concluded that there was a "dropping" ammount of ammonia in the water.After that i checked the damn Ecco filter and i saw the output was 1/3 of normal but cause of the panic i was i clean it imediately and didn't think that this was the cause.du ma wrote:what sup jim. nice to see you here. also sorry about your females.
how did you conclude that it was a filter malfunction?
i read on other forums that it was becterial infection
A month ago i saw on the net that ammonia spikes can cause the Hemmoragic Septicemia that cause the death of my fish and not only bacteria.
Now that i have 'learned my lesson' i have an EHEIM 2217 (1000lt/hour) for a 100littre tank......
