hi, i'm new here. i live in Singapore and recently acquired a batch of 6 zebras.

as i do some reading on the net, i'm confused as to what the gender mix/ ratio should be in a breeding environment.

some say 1 female: 5 males. some say it's the other way around.

can anyone verify this, along with some elaboration?

much appreciated!

i keep 7 males and 3 females in my main tank and have had 17 spawns since May 2005, and another one on the way.

I have three males and two females and have had two spawns so far. But so far only one male is spawning. The other males are smaller.
