Welcome back guys. Good to see you are all safe and sound. May I also add that the I am sure the "distinct taste for scotsmen" must come about from the fine quality of "grain" and "hops" the scottish body is so often accustomed too!

Nice one Plecoboy. This will probably just the start. As barbie sated, the first spawn is usually infertile, however it is quite common for the female to spawn again within a short period of time. Half of the battle is getting a male that is willing, and a female that is interested! :lol: Good luck ...

Hi Guys There are various rumours going round about the reasons behind the decline in numbers avaiable to the aquatic trade. The ban on exports from brazil does not seem to be correct as they do seem readily available on the import lists, just a high prices. There is also a rumour that they are bein...

Hi James As far as temp goes, I would say you were pretty near the mark. I increase my temp up to arounf 85-86, after a large water change. Before the increase I tend to let the temp drop by switching the heater off for a while. As for the caves, I've had alot of luck with rectangular slate caves th...

Hi dan Go for a high flow rate, it's difficult to over filter a zebra tank. So use both filters. Cave wise, I use old slates, glued together with awuatic silicone. the width is usually about 8cm across, 10cm deep and 2.5 cm high, (this is about 1/3 higher than the fish itself, and allows the male to...

Hi Kevin I've had experience of the male eating 2 clutches of eggs. Both times were after an extended period of husbandry. i.e 3 feamles one after the other spawning in his cave, all broods where succesfull. The first time it occured, the male had reased 4 consecutive spawns, the fifth spawn occured...

Hi TiGrInUs Personally I would go for the 3ft long tank. We'll never be able to re-create the depth that they are used to so you might as well try and re-create the river bed. By having the longer tank, you should be able to get more of a directional flow with your filtration. The filters I use, are...

Virginie If you're talking abou the stipes, it's something I've certainly never heard of or been able to see. All of the zebras markings are different, and I've seen both male and female fish with both thick and thin markings. The front ray of the pecotrial fin is usually thicker on the male, maybe ...

Hi Virginie Depending on how well the fish have been kept / fed, they should reach maturity at around 5-6cm, with quite a wide span across their pectorial fins. The males are easier to identifiy as they get older as the hairs on their pectorial fins become slight more prominant. You will also notice...

hi INXS What size of tank are they in. It does sound like territorial squabbles. I ouwld suggest you keep up the water changes just now, and possible put in some more places to hide, seperating out the territories slightly. I've had a similar problem with one of my females, spent moths thinking she ...

Hey HIppyguy Congradulations, I'm sure you'll be delighted with them. On transporting them, I would suggest you doublebag them individually. If you can get hold of one of those big polystyrene boxes, that would help. Although, even better than those are the big beer coolers. DO you have the tank alr...
