Hi everyone! You have an awesome site here! I think I have been reading posts for a more than 4 hours over the past 2 days. It is amazing how much information can be put all together.
I am relatively new to fish keeping (almost 3 years) and have been a zebby lover from the beginning. I had an opportunity to get a few zebbies when I first got started, but the price ($60) scared me, I knew for sure I would kill them. Now I just want to kick myself, but in the end I know I did the right thing (I was living in dorms at the time, and the fish got packed up and moved every semester.) After a couple of years I got interested in the breeding aspect of fish keeping and coupled off my fish. Although cichlids are nothing near what breeding zebs take, I now feel I will not kill them from inexperience. And the breeding… well that is were this site comes in handy.
Oh course, I first have to get my hands on some, give them a year or two to grow up….
I have been reading up on their habitat and plan on having their tank in move in condition so that the next time I see a zebra I can snatch it without a worry. Currently I am waiting for a phone call from one of our LFSs to let me know if his contact still is selling zebras…and what price they are at. Last he looked this guy was selling them at $75 each. Oh how I am praying that I can still get them at that price!!! But I think I am being a little to hopeful. For now I will just watch my L66 and pretend he has black and white stripes.
Thanks for all the help you have been, and all I know you will be!!
