Hello from Fremont California!

Post by new2club »

Hi guys! just wanted to introduce myself. I'm myles. I was wondering if there's anyone near me who can show their zebra pleco collection. I'm getting really interested in these and would love to see them. :)

Caution is a most valuable asset in fish keeping, especially if you are the fish.

Welcome to the site, I think there are a few people from your area on the site. :)

Thanks! Yeah, I hope someone kind enough to show me their collection so that I can get tempted to get a few zebras. :)

Hi new2club

Welcome on board. I am assuming scotland can't be classed as local :-)

Unfortunately I had to spend the past 2-3 years workign away form home too much, so I have gradually reduced my stock. I kept a few, but most of them went to a friend who will hopefully manage to continue with their breeding.

Considering I set the site up over 7 years ago, and have only recently got back into being involved with it, it seems a bit crazy that I give them away just when I start having abit of time again. That said, they went a to a good home :-)

Unfortunately not. The fish I kept are fish that I have had for years and I couldn't let go of :-). This iscludes "george" from my first ever spawn which resulted in one cast-away egg floating about the bottom of the tank. :-) (I hasten to add this is the only named fish I own :-) )

Unfortunately I only kept 4, although I shoudl imagine at some point in time I will start them up again. :-)

If possible I would definately recommend getting an established group if they are available. However be very careful if they are being sold as a breeding colony as these tend to go for a premium and it is difficult to prove.

Good luck.
