Re: feeding L046 LIve food

Well I tried it on my second tank and it didn't do anything as far as spawning was concerned but they did choose the eggs over bloodworms. I also tried fry in my main tank, The zeb's ate them but most of them got free and the zebras have been praying on them regularly for the past 4 nights.

Re: feeding L046 LIve food

Well I'll let you all know very shortly, I have a yellow lab holding and she usually produces around 30 to 40 eggs. I'll put them in the tumbler and wait till their wigglers which by the looks of the eggs wont be long.

feeding L046 LIve food

Would zebras eat mixed breed cichlid fry with egg sacks still attached to the fry? I don't want to raise the mixed breed and really don't want to euthanize them. Any thoughts?

I have 2 more that were purchased at the same time that are kept in different tanks and they have huge bristles all over their heads and are ...

Re: bristlenose without bristles?

Looks exactly like that, thank you. I have another one that looks similar but has much lighter spots and really long fins, Same number of rays on dorsal but is much more active to the point that it will almost eat out of your hand[ It has on several occasions].

bristlenose without bristles?

I purchased a pleco that was listed as a bristlenose but in is almost 4.5" long and has no bristles except for two tiny whiskers right where the tip of it's mouth is. I will try to get pics but all I have right now is a camera phone and it is very poor quality. The fish is shaped like a BN and has 8 ...
