This may sound very silly but here goes..........
When conditionng the fish is it more important for the females to more food than the males? i.e more protein as to help the eggs and all of that?
Sorry for the dumb question!

Avatar sorted just for you. I take it you couldn't handle the little red cross for much longer then?
I did actually try adding one ages ago but it wouldn't allow me to add it no matter what I did to the file and I tried several different files..so I settled on the little red cross
Anyway I've just had another go and it worked...whoo hoo!

Another thought on conditioning, i fed them tonight as usal ( i am simulating a rainy season ) my female is always the only 1 i EVER! see eating the male never seem to leave there caves/ hidy holes, are males prodominantly night time feeders?
I feed 1 blister thing of bloodworm some hikari carnivores pellets ( 10 or so ) and a small ish pinch of tetra prima. Is this a good conditioning diet?

Hi Shell
The mix is good, but be careful on how much bloodworm you feed them. Zebras have very small intestines, so too much bloodworm can mead to a "blockage". Two to three times a week max, and make sure you remove anything that isn't eaten.
As for the males being predominantly night feeders, all zebras prefer darker conditions, they only become "accustomed" to having lights on becuase of us. As you knwo they are very shy fish. Some will become less timid, but other won't it all depends on the fish.!!
