    I wouldn't be selling any of those zebras but i would be looking to trade some fry with other breeders just to keep good genetics, i used to breed royal whiptails back in the day and after trading some fish got better results across the board

    Honestly what I love about you is you're not in this for the money. Here you are sitting on some pretty pricey fish but your passion for them outweighs the want to sell what you've worked so long/hard on. I commend you, and those babies are absolutely precious!

    You are such a pleasure to watch. Positive and upbeat. Always had fish when I was young but because I travel so much now could not have anymore for the past 20 years, but always found it relaxing. Keep it up, you’re very inspiring.

    I had similiar experience with L236 plecos, i was "greedy" on the first spawns, took them to breeder box inside same tank, as long as i paid attention it was fine, but i also had some trouble with mold on eggs, fry deaths etc, currently i am just letting the male do his job, i have 4 adult ones, 1 male, every 2-3 weeks there is new batch of fry, i just take the grown ones (3cm+) every few months to a grow out tank for them and its working wonders (they go like 10-20 fry per batch)

  • @generaaldelarey2007
    @generaaldelarey2007 Před 2 měsíci +1

    buy a barometre and when the airpressure drops do a water change and don''t keep your tank to sterile most bacteria are usefull and a little algea won''t hurt it just looks bad

  • @FunctionBuiltAquatics
    @FunctionBuiltAquatics Před 2 měsíci

    When I designed my setup I went with a sulfur nitrate reactor not to have the nitrate peaks between water changes. So while the tank was in its first 2 months before i added the zebras my nitrates red 60 ppm now after 3 months of a mature reactor my nitrates are zero! I’ll implement daily water changes with the hope to get my Golden nuggets to show spawning activity . Originally the tank was for them I have since added other xingu species.

    I'm glad the zebras are taking off for you. I use warmer water all the time to trigger spawning in my fish room. In the winter my tanks are in the low 70's around 22C. So I use warmer water during water changes and it often triggers a spawn.

    Hi Nick! Congratulations on figuring out their breeding and all those water changes. Pity you lost some babies during your US trip. It’s always hard to see that happen. But chin up and as you see they’re pretty easy to keep and breed. Coolest fish ever!
    PS: Must get some Bug Buffet from you asap.

  • @zombi3907
    @zombi3907 Před 2 měsíci

    I have noticed thst fish often respond to water changes particularly well when there are atmospheric pressure changes. I am not trying to spawn but whenever there is a big storm that comes through and I do a wter change I get eggs everywhere. I live in a somewhat drier area so it is really obvious.when it happens.

    The zebra pleco could very well be extinct in nature very soon because of a planned dam at the Xingu. Its on CITES already, although probably for another reason.

Now I’ve ordered a golden vampire pleco ( l127a Leporacanthicus heterodon) on the Maidenhead Aquatics website it says maximum size 10cm but on other websites and google it says they grow up to 20cm?
