:thumbsup: That is fantastic!!!! Glad you saved a few, are there anymore still in with Dad?

You have had zebras spawn before right, it sounds like you were not expecting many to live from the first spawn. They are so good looking it is a shame they are so hard to get to spawn, then even harder to keep the fry alive.
