ZebraPleco.com • The complete Hypancistrus zebra resource

Hello everyone,

After monitoring this site for a while, I feel I should introduce myself.
Having been a keen fishkeeper for many years now, I have managed to sneak in one more tank with the sole aim of breeding hypans.
Like most of you, I came across the zebras early on and have wanted one ever since. I always avoided the temptation of an expensive 'trophy' speciman, as it didn't seem fair to me. Now I feel I can do justice to them and would like to build up a breeding community.
Hopefully I can make contact with others in the area who are doing something similar.

Regards, Paul.

Welcome

Hi bluebird
im from cardiff

Welcome bluebird

In which case, Windy1958, I'm pleased to make your aquaintance.
I see from previous posts that you have serious experience with l-numbers. Repect due.javascript:emoticon('8)')
Cool
Have you had much luck with l46's?
How difficult was it tracking down a viable community from different bloodlines?
Don't suppose by any chance you have any dealings with City Aquatics? They occasionally get hypans in from a local breeder, and there can't be too many others in Cardiff producing such a variety of cool fish.
Must admit I was nearly tempted by a supposedly breeding pair of l262s they had...

Actually, when I said 'City Aquatics' I actually meant 'Aquatic World' off Crwys Road. Should have just said 'Daves' really!

A big welcome to the site bluebird
