10 GALLON TEST....

Post by jerms55555 »

Let me see........ :lol:
this is pretty funny!!!
But i guess what i was trying to say was if anybody out there ever tried to to breed their zebras in a 10 gal or less..I have a pair and one other in the 10 gal and already the male took one of the caves and the female is right near there....so I just want to know if I was wasting my time trying to do this.

To be honest, I see no reason why it shouldn't work if they are already a proven pair. Your biggest problem will be maintaining the correct water paramters. I have managed to breed in 20 gallons (US), but never tried anything smaller.

My one suggestion would be to make sure that there is a corner in the tank to allow the female to roam about a littl ewithout being hastled by the male at feeding times.

Good luck and let us know how you get one.

Am i waisting my time??
Thanks for your input....
I think time is the only thing that needs to be wasted when it comes to these little beauties :lol:

As long as you manage to keep the water clean, and there's no tankmates, I can't see why it shouldn't work?

On the other hand, there's no need to cram them together to get them to spawn. I have at present a spawning pair in a 250L, with lots of plants, roots, 7 caves, and all alone, and they manage to find eachother just fine ;)

It was an accident that they were left behind by themselves, long story that I won't get into here, but I wouldn't normally have tried this setup :lol: Imagine my surprise when I found they were up to hankypanky :shock:
