choose "Main menu - Mine fisker - L46"
Apparently this is what he finds every time he cleans his tank, enough to make anybody green with envy

There's Norwegian breeder that's cleaning out his tank once every 6 month to catch all the fry, and give the tank a thorough clean.

I don't know how many he's got of each, but he's got two males spawning in the same tank 
He says they are more or less both constantly guarding eggs.
When he did the 6 monthly cleanup this time, he decided to change the layout of the tank, as he wanted to give them a rest. Apparently it didn't work, it only took a few days before one of the males was guarding eggs again.
I've spoken to him about this site so he's aware that I've introduced his group to you all. He says he's been planning to join, but so far haven't had the time. Hopefully he'll stop by one day so that he can give away all his secrets to the rest of us
Bottling that water seems like a very good idea

Considering Corydoras breeders use water from a tank with recently spawned fish to stimulate other corys to spawn, maybe Des has hit on a very good experiment? 
Isn't it funny to think so many people are just waiting for the tiny patter of zebra fins, yet this chap is trying to stop his from breeding for a while! Fish keeping is a very strange hobby at times!

Breeding info
Hi
I am the lucky owner of this zebra breeding group.
I bought them for roughly 2 years ago. When I bought them my plan was to breed them, but I believed they was not old enough. So I placed them in a 160l tank with a lot of slater and a few “breeding“ caves and feed them heavily .
After three months I saw one of the larger L-46 behaved “strange”. When I saw in to the cave I saw him guarding fry! Since that day he has “produced” one hatch each month.
After a year one of the other males also start to breed. He has also one hatch each month. That means that this group gives me 15-20 fry each month.
I have tried to give them a break from breeding, but what ever I try they just continue to hatch.
I believe that one of the reasons for my success with this group is that I don’t mess so much with this tank. I change water each 2-3 week, feed them twice a day and I never change any thing in aquarium. I only change the setup each 6 months, that’s when I catching fry.
I have never removed egg/fry from the males. I let the fry be in the breeding tank. I remove them when they are too many or they start arguing with the parents about territory.
Info about the breeding aquarium:
160l (100*40*40)
Eheim 2228
Ph 6,5-7
Kh 1-2
Temperature 28-30°C
3 males , 3 females and 1 insecure ( maybe a male).
2 active males and 3 active females.
Feed them with my home made frozen food, Tetra Tabi Min and Tetra Discus bits (soaked).
My frozen food contain black and white bloodworms, artemia, beef heart, fish meat,spirulina, pea, spinach and garlic.
