F1's are regular Zebra's that have been tank bread with wild parents. Now if the F1's breed then the fry would be F2's....and so on.

f1's (first generation) look the same as the wild adults

f0 = wild caught fish
f1 = spawn of wild caught fish
f2 = grandkids of wild caught fish
and so on....
If the fish are f1's that means that they weren't wild caught, but their parents were. They won't look any different from wild caught ones, but most people find that fish that were born and raised in an aquarium are better suited to aquarium life and are easier to breed, too.
