That's good news Hamish, here's hoping that something comes of it :D .
Hmmmm, there definitely seems to something in the highlands water. I would be interested in knowing the parameters of your water:Ph,Kh,Gh etc. You guys seem to manage on just aged water alone, looks like I'll have to sell up soon and move to scotland. :lol:

Congrats Hamish, I think you've just set another zebra breeding record :lol: . I'm definately moving up to your neck of the woods now, what are house prices like up your way? :lol: .

If you're interested in a new digital camera check out this site, they are very good for unbiased reviews.

Excellent news mate. I'm well chuffed for you. Is it a new male, or has he managed a spawn before?

Just remember who you outbid with those ones however.....I'll be expecting a few offspring in exhange to keep the scottish blood lines going!!! :wink:

Defninately a record...you must be doing something right!!!

Knew I should have stuck to round numbers!!!!

Looks like you could be onto a winner with it. Haver you told the guy you bought them from that she has spawned already. he must be kicking himself.

Still a really good sign. If it was her first spawn it is only to be expected. Was it the same male as before?
