New zebra pleco development....

Post by mistern2005 »

Last night I completed making the little holding trap for the fry - basically a clear plastic convalescence continter modified to have screens on three sides. My plan was to pull the fry this week as I can tell some are getting quite large, with very distnct zebra stripes :D

This morning I checked the cave to look at the babies. Lloyd (the male that spwaned) has someone trapped in the cave with him. I am not sure if it's a "friend" or foe, but Lloyd has been doing a great job, so I believe he is trying to spawn again.

Not sure what's happeneing, or if this will thwart my plan to put the babies into a seperate tank, so stay tuned...

Well, no new spawn...I can still see existing fry in with the dad. Still not sure how many fry I got from the spawn.

Since there weren't' new eggs, I thought about pulling the babies last night, but their new tank still has about of week of cycling left to do and I didn't want to chance it.

Things have definitely gotten exciting.
