I just gently took the eggs from a cave.. I was shocked.. 19 eggs, all fertilized ... I thought 15 was the maximum!! well let's see if they will develop :)

WOW! 19...are you feeding your fish steroids or some new aphrodisiac?

I reckon you must have the equivalent of an aquarium brothel.

Well done anyway(although maybe i should be congratulating your zebs) :D

Let us know how they get on, with pics!. 19 might possibly be a record!

good luck rearing them.

I'm just feeding them quite a lot.. actually, brown shrimp, food pellets cyclops etc.. twice a day, during the morning and in the evening... the days before the laying, one of the females was really cravin so ;)
I will make some pictures and keep you guys informed.. let's hope they will all develop ;)
