Zebra pleco fry...

They all hatched, 2 got kicked out and were rejected, but the rest have left the cave and are free swimming. About 10 in all, not bad for my little female. Wish I knew how to post pics, got pics of the male sitting on the eggs and some of the fry. Started out with 16 eggs and got 10 fry, not bad for their first successful spawn.

Wow, well done,they are just the best, I understand they are difficult to breed. :D

I bought two last week, they died today, I am devastated. I put them in my community 43 gal tank and checked all water parameters, bought them a hidey hole - fed them bloodworm/prawn/brine shrimp - and I think that I was so worried that they weren't feeding that I overfed the tank and the nitrates had gone up from 30ppm to over 50ppm when I tested it today. All other fish seem to be OK and I have done another water change tonight. This won't bring back my two zebra pleco :cry:

I have phone the lfs and I will have to go in on Saturday to see if they will do anything for me. It's a lot of money to lose!!

Busta...You have more than enough. You actually probably have enough for 2 or 3 colonies.
Check out the posting in Shane's World for more info on breeding L46.

Congratulations on the Spawn and the fry!
