Its a pleco.

A guy at an LFS near me got eggs from them, not exactly sure how he did it though. The next time I see him, I'll ask.

I agree, pretty common around here. Just ask your LFS to order some Royals, and odds are there will be a few L-191's in there

Hi Clay! You should try feeding them tablets with high concentration level of Spirulina , I have try many brand and type but my Loricariidae wil go crazy for the 20% Spirulina tabs from Sera! Cheers Yann I'll have to try that the next time I'm looking for fish food. In general, their diet consists ...

I am thinking of switching over to sand, but am still not sure. My aquarium has lots of current and I am afraid that the sand will never settle. Anyone else know about this. I have already throughly cleaned the sand and have it waiting in buckets, but I am still not sure. Also, how coarse is the &qu...

Wow, that's an awesome idea I may have to "steal" it from you. Are those plecos the type that you are going to try to breed? Also, how big are the caves?

The pH in my area is around 8 out of the tap, and I have never had problems with regular plecos. You may have trouble with fancy plecos though (I really don't know which ones though)

I guess that since we are talking about zebras, I will mention my set-up. :D I have a 30 gallon long, that is filled to about 3 inches from the top. It is filtered with an Emporer 400 (I think). I have it set up as a river with 2 Aquaclear 301's on one side and their intakes on the other. I have 9 z...

Thats great that you were able to get captive bred zebras I've never tried feeding mine cucumber, but I have ocassionally used algae tablets which they eat, but I don't think they really enjoy them.

Its not really my own work, I just used pictures/figures from other sites (that aren't in english) and described them in english. I will post it in a few minutes.

It's not a security risk

Thanks for the caution though

Glad I could be of help

I have never had luck with gold nuggets. They are beautiful fish, but I think if I go for another of that color pattern, I will go with a Goldy, plus I like their size

Good luck, hopefully they will reproduce.

I agree, 6.5-7. Although, with zebras, pH really doesn't matter that much. I have heard that they will breed in waters with a pH of 8. The only difference is that the pH MAY have an effect on the "stickyness" of the eggs.

Not around here, but the qulity of the LFS around here are pretty poor.

Thanks for the replies, I will try turning the powerheads off. As for feeding, I feed mine once a day.

Just curious if anybody has any suggestions for feeding plecos in strong currents. Food tablets are easy to feed, but really I am talking about bloodworms, brine shrimp etc. I just place it near the bottom and they seem to find it, but I am sure that I lose the majority of the food. Any ideas?

I've posted the following zebra pleco articles on my yahoo briefcase. In addition, I have posted my own "book" which contains these articles as well as my own little article about sexing zebra plecos. It is in MS word format and in 2 parts. The book is 44 pages long and is very cool if you...

I bought the same thing several years ago before I even knew about L-numbers. Mine turned out to be a gibbiceps.

Wow, thats awesome

Nice pics!!

I know that they are 2 different countries . I just assumed that the laws would be similar with all of the exotic wild life "down there".

Mine love slate caves and lots of current. Here is a link that I made that may help you. The 1996 article on yahoo has pictures of slate caves.

Hope this helps

Blue tinge means it is very healthy and happy. I'm not sure about the min size for breeding though. In the past, I had heard that it was very difficult to get those types of fish down under, has that changed?

Very nicely done, Mokmu
