hi mate,

Congratz!

please fill your location in, in your profile.

zebras like a good fast flow, with pleanty oxygen in the water (so you might want to add and air stone).

they also like the water nice and warm so i keep my tank at 86 degrees with a ph of 6.9.

provide lots of hiding places for them and good quality food (i use tetra prima with a mix of frozen blood worm and sometimes home made food)

apart from that just make sure the water is in good shape with regular water changes and enjoy watchingn them grow!

cool.

hamish sold me my first zebs too, top guy! your little un's are probably bothers and sisters to my 2 little ones!! they are about the same age

sounds like youv got everything under control, dont get me wrong 80 degrees will suit them fine but if its a little bit warmer they tend to eat more and grow a little faster.

anyway the main thing is enjoy them!
