    Man ! what a " National Day surprise " !. I was up early on Friday morning (abt 6.00am )coz' need to do marketing for " family get together dinner ". So before stepping out of the door, I went to my L046 Zebra Breeding tank to have a peep. It's still dark in my balcony so I used my small torch to check if all systems and the Dwarf Farlowella fries are A O K !( the pair in the Zebra Breeding tank that bred a couple of weeks ago !). Saw something on the rear glass panel of the tank that doesn't look like a dwarf farlowella fry. To my Surprise ! it was a " BABY L046 ! ! ! ! ! " an exact replica of the parent ! damn cute ! [] man ! I was freak out ! and far out !. I directed the torch to those " breeding pvc tubings " and saw some more babies at the end of the tubings ! I counted 5 ! [] think there are some ! probably hiding in the drift woods and neutral rocks !. After all these years of fish keeping especially Plecos ! this is probably the best surprise I ever had ! [].
    [] [] cheers !

    Safe Diving !

    Congrats, Akoh!!!
    Vincent - AQ is for everyone, but not for 'u' and 'mi'.
    Why use punctuation? See what a difference it makes:

    A woman: without her, man is nothing.

    Allen! Welcome to L046 breeding line!!! Hey must be careful now. Need to control the water as original as possible to the keep the baby in ease. Mind u they are extremly sensitive to white spot. I have some very bad exprience in this. Change your water in min amount but change frequency. This will help them grow faster.[] For feed the baby.....I think u r better than me[] [] . Good luck!!! and happy L046 nannying!!!!

    Kun ! Thks for the pointers !. I usually do a wkly 25% partial water-change in order to maintain "water quality" guess that helps my Zebras to get into the mood for Luv !. [].Moreover I also attached a Dulpa T-control to the tank to maintain the temp. to 28 to 29 C, guess that helps too huh !. Anyway Thks.

    Flor ! lsz ! , next water-change I'll use NEWATER ! who know ! it may speed up the growth rate ! cheoooong ah ! , Thks.

    Safe Diving !

    Hail the undisputed PlecoKing!!! It is indeed a good news for all local pleco enthusiats. Allen, imagine that you can control the price now- give QianHu/ Petmart/ C328/ Ah Chun a run for their $. Remember how ex we got the Zebras from them? Now, if any new plecomaniac wants a Zebra, he should not pay more than $45 ea for our memebers (Gan @ Neo Tiew or PlecoHut @ Joo Seng or Kunner@ where?)- another plus point for this forum. Will you consider conducting a public lecture at our clubhouse for beginers an start a group of Imperial Zebra breeders in the forum?
    Have I done my water change?

    guys ! sorry no picture coz' don't own a D/Camera, any volunteer ? good chance to see plecos tank and L046 Zebra breeding tank set-up !.[]
    Spilopterus ! yes it's the L046 Zebra pleco. Well ! really hope ( keeping my toes and fingers Xed ) that I'm successful in breeding and caring for the fries - " Bred in captivity " [] []
    Hoppinghippo ! toooo bad ! it's a 4'tank !. I'll gear up if it is a 8' tank ! man ! just imagine no " bottom time " can stay hrs taking U/water pictures of Zebra []
    Ppl ! I have good and bad news, the good news is ( hope I'm right ) found some zebra eggs ( abt 5 to 6 pcs ) inside another PVC tubing ! [:0] []. The bad news is while cleaning up the tank last evening, I found 1 dead baby zebra and my 3 pcs of baby dwarf farlowella is no where in sight ! think the adult zebra must have have them for lunch or dinner ! . Man ! hope they're hiding somewhere in the drift wood ! cheers !

    Safe Diving !
