Hi, I'm thinking of buying a python, does anyone know where is a cheap place to buy one?? preferably online(UK), unless you know of a LFS near Edinburgh. I've found one for sale at http://www.aquatics-online.co.uk/listsections.asp?parent=158&seq=281#product1032 but I thought £48.99 was a bit ex...

Hopefully it was just the move thats put them off their food. Good Luck!

Hi Konig, Here is a couple of suggestions for you?. Could you find out what the Zebras previous owner was feeding them on? They may never have seen cucumber or Tetra TabiMin tabelets before and it may take them a while to be weaned on to these types of foods. It took mine a few months before they wo...

Hi Doctorzeb,

Try looking here for some info.

There are a few good pics as well.

Wow!......25 eggs that's a lot for a Zebra spawning. If the eggs were rolling about in the tank then the male has kicked them out his cave. This generally means that the eggs were not fertile or that your water parameters were not too good. I'm not sure if you are able to tell which one though. As z...

Hi Marc,

When feeding my adult zerbas zucchini I have had similar problems with the fry. I have since taken zucchini of the menu and everything seems fine. It's a shame because the adults really love it.

Cheers.

This is what I mean by a gravel cleaner.

I currently use the Hagen Standard Gravel Cleaner for my tanks.

Hi,

I was thinking about changing one of my tanks over to a sand substrate. Does anyone have any advice on how best to clean the sand once itâ??s in the tank? I would think my normal gravel cleaner would just suck up all the sand.

Cheers.

Great pictures Marc. Iâ??ve got a few questions for you. How do you remove the eggs from the male? Mine wonâ??t move from the cave once the eggs are laid, even if the cave is lifted out the water. How often are they laying eggs? Do you think removing the eggs from the male increase this frequency? I...

Hi, would like to know if you kept any other tankmates with your zebras or is it a soley zebra tank? Hi, I did have my zebras in a community tank but they didn't seem interested in breeding there. I moved them to a species tank last year and have manged to get them to breed once in November 2002. I...

I use some small terracotta pots, they are shaped like a vase and aout 3 inches long. I found them in a garden centre. The entrance is just big enough for the male to get it and it opens out a bit inside, just enough room for him to turn around in. I have also made a couple of cave with slate and si...

I've had some recent success in breeding zebras. I just left the baby zebras with the adults, they all seem to look after the youngsters. They spend most of the day in the males cave and venture out at night looking for food. I fed the babies the same as the adults, Frozen Blood worms, Brine Shrimp,...

You could try feeding frozen discus food as this contains beef heart, shrimp, and bloodworm. Make sure it?s eaten though as the beef heart can pollute your water quicker than other foods.

My zebras will eat almost anything but they won't touch cucumber, not sure why??? They do like courgette, the skin round the outside goes first.

I ran out of frozen food last week and gave them some Hikari tropical for discus, they can't get enough of it now.

I'm not sure if the water volume has much to do with it. My tank is only 70l and I've manged to breed them. I would recommend removing the other fish though. In order for them to breed I think they have to feel totaly safe, the other fish might be disturbing them. I've also found Zebras don't compet...

Hi Great pictures, I'll need to get myself a digital camera to take pictures of my tanks. I to have had success breeding Zebras. I would be interested to hear a bit more about the set up. (Filtration, tank size, water chemistry, etc.....). I was thinking about upgrading my set up as I have a spare 3...

Try using rocks, slate or ceramic pots to build your caves. My Zebras prefer this, they just ignore the driftwood.
