ZebraPleco.com • The complete Hypancistrus zebra resource

before the "reboot" of the site i posted regarding how i found/noticed a baby zeb (about 30 days old) which was from a previous (thought to be unsuccesful spawn). the baby looked quite skinny so i fed smaller foods for a day and then transfered it to a smaller breeder tank within the main tank so i could target feed him. The breeder was placed infront of a filter outlet to ensure water turnover and uneaten food was syphoned out.
i fed ZM300 and ZM100. Initially the baby got a lil fatter but then on sunday morning when i went to the tank its stomach was pinched and it was dead
i wish i had left it with the adults now as it must have been doing well enough to last 30 days.
..........gutted..................

So sorry to hear you lost the little fellow! RIP little zeb!

You did the best you could. I'm sorry for your loss.

Sorry to hear that. Can understand why you're gutted, but try not to beat yourself up about it- it isn't your fault.

It sounds like it was struggling anyway, I'm sure if you'd left it you would have just been beating yourself up about why you didn't try seperating it to target feed
