Well - I'm just about to buy both the tanks, new filters
and I'm working on an auto water change system too
I want these little guys to get a bit more TLC that they currently get

Quick Update...
We've got the new filters up and running now - they have been on for about 4 weeks and no ill effects
The beta tank still hasn't produced a spawn
The last spawn from the Alpha tank is doing well though...
Should be about due for another alpha spawn soon.

I will be really interested in what happens with your second group I am about to split a second group from the colony how many should I move I have a really pretty beta male 'Yoshi' I was thinking of him being the new group alpha and add a couple of younger males and females(?) what do you think I feel really cautious about it

well...
I've been getting itchy feet lately, we've not had a spawn in either tank since splitting up the group and adding the new filters...
Well, on Thursday night I left for Cornwall - with 2 zebs in a cave - finally.
Checked when I got home last night and we finally have a spawn again in the alpha tank - they have moved cave though so I don't think the liked the change in flow directing the new filter added.
I'll be giving the beta tank a change around soon to see if i can get a spawn from them too

Update time folks
Over the weekend I sold My fist group of Zeb fry - Joby is now the proud owner of 2 of out older fry (1 at about a year and the rest at about 8 mounts old - judging by size)
Fingers crossed they will settle in great and we'll be following the trials and tribulations of my first F1 group
Meanwhile - Back in the alpha tank, the latest wigglers are coming out the cave for their first swim about we've also got about 12 young fry in there that are actually growing quite well and must be getting on for 1" (TL).
The female in the beta tank is looking quite plump too - but the male is showing amsolutly no interest - he hasnt even taken a cave - the female has resorted to hanging around the entrance of caves - I think she is trying to give him the idea... but he just aint getting it!
I've re arranged teh tank over the weekend (as we had to to get teh fry out for Joanne )
so maybe they will get it together!.

It was good to talk to someone like minded and interested
keep your eyes peeled for a thread in the summer about swapping "fry"...
There are quite a few of us that are planning to swap bloodlines so if your not too attached to them by then - you might want to swap a couple to get new blood into the group
