    blue fin means healthy?
    your water parameters are okay. they are tough fishes and can tolerate high variations of conditions. even hard akaline water.
    for them more important is to stick to recommended temperature.
    ONLY Blue Zebras.

    Re: New tank and new Hypancistrus zebra

    After one year of waiting they finally bred for me!!! I was shock to see two ottos in my tank one day when I only have one inside. Thats until i realised that it was a L46 fry. So i went on a search and found three of them under a cave created under a cave, cuddling together. I also found another 2 locations where they are hiding, but i cant do a headcount. Too well covered and its beside the alpha male cave. However, i also realise that the beta male is constantly lurking on top of the alpha males cave. While the female is occupying the beta's cave. The fries are already free swimming and zooming around, around 1.5cm

    I'm sure your wait was worth it!
    Congradulations on your spawn.
    So which cave and where was the alpha's cave?

    The alpha's cave quite far from the beta's, dont know what they were trying to do. However, they have separated for now, so should be quite safe. I flipped the entire tank and only found 6 fries, one got sucked by the filter and passed on.

    I will try to post some photos when i get my hands on a camera. haha i dont have one. and my tank setup is different from how it use to be, experimenting over the pass one year.

    Re: New tank and new Hypancistrus zebra

    anyone has any idea how i can view my pleco at night? is it true that by using a blue led, the plecos would not be spooked and would behave normally as though the light was switched off.

    Re: New tank and new Hypancistrus zebra

    i wouldn't say that they are hard to keep, just regular water change, i only do weekly water change for mine.

    but its not that easy to breed them, it really depends on their mood
