Well, they are way ahead of us. We had spawns here 3 years ago, so they should have produced some F2's by now, (Mindy got F2's..) but I don't think anybody here has kept their F1's to get F2's yet? Too bad there's a language barrier
Thank you for posting this John, very interesting!

The latest fry are out and about in the tank
Fingers crossed they will do better than the first spawn...
They look SO small compared to the other ones

They will turn up again
I remember posting a panic thread about a missing fry a few years back. Everybody said to calm down and don't worry (I know you're not worried smithrc), I could hardly sleep for two weeks, but suddenly he was there, big and fat and happy

Right then... Things are all go in the zeb tank.
Spawn number 3 has been the most successfull so far - I counted 7 fry last week and they are now 2 months old... we've not found any bodys this time round (unlike the 1st spawn
)
And as of today we have spawn No 4
here are the 2 fry from the 1st spawn - now 6 months old

Right folks...
There was an incident in the tank last night...
I wont be able to get any more close ups of the 6 month fry in the breeding trap
as it sank... I came home from a night out to find it "hovering" about 1" below the water line - with no zebs in it...
I've found them hiding in the tank since though and all is ok
