Please don't mind my ramblings, this is more of a "how I did it and my random observations"
rather than a polished breeding report.

Beersnob and I have finally gotten our zebra otos up and running, and now have fry over 6 months. They seem to breed about every 2-3 weeks. For us, the key seemed to ...

Since my dear hubby (Beersnob) hasn't posted the basic info yet, you can find it at http://tinyurl.com/dyx43 I forgot to mention that the filter is actually for a 20gal (I think), and is set up for physical and biological filtering only- we took out the carbon so it wouldn't absorb any hormones from ...
