Pretty much explains itself really. If you have questions about tank set-ups, tank furniture, (caves etc) chuck them in here!

Post by october004 »

I don't know if this is the right place to put this post or not but I am sure Rob will move it if I am wrong. This last week I had the great opportunity to visit aqua58. His setup is amazing and he has this down to an art. His zebs are cycling every 32 days. I saw the fry and the dates. I tell you what I was honored that he would let me see his set-up and if you could ever get the same opportunity I would pay money if you have to! I just wanted to say thanks to aqua58 and tell everyone that wants to be a breeder that he is definately a guy you want to know!

Yes, but how can we when most of us don't live in SD and he hasn't posted on this forum even though he is a member. Does he have a website? E-mail?

Can you explain his breeding tanks in detail; substrate, circulation, filtiration, lighting, etc.?

I have to agree with your observations as I too have had the pleasure meeting both him and his wife. A wealth of knowledge and the cleanest setup that I've seen overall. He indeed does have it down to a science is what I say. He has been my tutor in acquiring the thorough knowledge and understanding that so many here have. I also like to view the postings and have not replied much but let me say that this forum has been a great insight. Yet by comparing what he does with his setups and how many others' setup does in fact make a huge difference. Anyone can actually send him a private message and I know that he would be glad to reply to many member's questions.

Andy;

It's literally not teasing, send him a private message and tell him that October004 and Marc referred you. He usually has spawns going on a monthly basis and all his specimens are extremely active and healthy.

well buddy why not just pm him on zebra pleco. That is what it is here for and I would think that your parents wouldn't see it as any different than you posting on the forum.
