Aint hi speed internet grand- they all loaded in an instant. Nice looking tanks and zebras. I see some scaping on a couple of fish, so I would guess they are sorting out the pecking order and hopefully will be getting jiggy very soon :-)

thanks for your replies, my big tank which houses 10 L046. 8 of which pretty much all adults (4 at over 3 years, 4 at about 2.5/3 years) and two at just about 2 inch. the tank is 36 x 12 x 15 (L x W x D). i have a Eheim 2324 thermo external filter running this tank, with a Eheim aquaball 2210 internal filter and to provide more current an Eheim aquaball 1212 powerhead, a single 300w Tetratec heater is used as well, but as there is one set a little higher in the external filter i have a backup if the internal one fails...

My smaller tank is a Tetra aqua art 60L 22 x 12 x 13 (L x W x H). this is going to house a group of L134's, but at the moment houses another adult male L046, i will be swapping him for some L134...
this tank also has a Eheim 2324 thermo external filter running it with a Eheim aquaball 1212 powerhead and a tetra tec 150w heater...


both tanks are:

28-29c
6.8 pH
>6 GH
6-8 KH
0 N03
0 N02

waterchanges twice a week of 20% large tank and about 50% small tank as trying to get the tannins out of the water from the bogwood in there...


hope this helps, anything else you want to know, just ask!
