Hi, just for the record I now have breeding L270 choc zebras.

I have 4 adults that I have has for a couple of years or more. The smaller ones must have now reached breeding age.

They are in a 4ft x1 x1 with lots of wood caves and some other fish. the tank mates vary from time to time. I had 4 L134 with them but have now moved those to allow more space for babies. Also some cories and small BNs.
I did not know they were breeding as he was deep in long cave out of sight. first I saw were babies in the tank -well one at first.
anyway I think the first two broods have only produced 2 fry each, but last brood I have managed to spot 5 in the tank, may even be a few more hiding.
27 degrees, ph 6- 7 varies, fairly low tds. use half tap treated and half Ro mostly.
first couple of young will be available in a couple of months if anyone looking for some.

Congrats Irene0100

I would be interested in your fish, can you add me to your selling list when available in a couple of months.

Would be looking for 4 to 5 fish.

Well done thtas great news I like the L270

A wise old fishkeeper taught me years back that when you see one or two fry, the odds are really good there are many more. Pleco fry love to hide so don't be surprised if there are a lot more in the tank than you have spotted

Congrats on the spawn!! Can't wait to see pics!!!

thanks all. I am fairly confident the first spawns were only a couple of fry as they come out readily for food now and I spend hours watching the tank -lol! but could have more than 5 in the last batch as they are tiny and hide more.
I dont like to post fish so anyone interested would have to come to norfolk, sorry.
will try and get some pictures of them when they come out to feed, here is a poor pic I took a few weeks ago.

not sure why pic is not imbedding into the text.
have added a couple more pics to my gallery anyway.
