Introducing "George" the day old Zebra Pl*co

Hi there
Quick update.
After all other eggs being infertile or dying, I was left with one egg, which died. Unknown to me there was still one in the cave that got kicked out, so I quickly put it in the breeder two days ago. Low and behold, this strange looking little creature popped out today.
Thanks for all the advice, and heres a wee piccy.
If he survives I will be posting a page with hopefully a complete picture diary of his progress. Hopefully that way it will provide a little insight as to what they should look like at what stages for first timers like myself.
heres the link.

Hi there
finally managed to get the image thing working
This is the zebra fry after 2 days, seems to be doing OK, apart from having his face welded to the floor of the tank!

I've got a few more images, so I'll get then posted tomorrow. The pigmentation of the stripes is starting to form.
Yann, I was wondering if it would be OK to put in a few quotes?.
