L46's

i would like to know if there is anything special you have to do with L46's. like do they need any special diet or water chemistry?

The zebras are Hypancistrus...which means they are basically meat eaters. Water parameters can varie, until you are ready to spawn them. Here's a video clip of them actually spawning: http://www.fishnut2.com/ZebraMPEG.mpg

fishy porn!! how cute. long does it take to get to breeding age?

**Fishnut2** · 02-12-2007, 01:29 PM

I'm not sure. All my breeding stock are wilds.

breeding age is typically about 2 years. do you have these fish, or have a place to get them? if not do you realize the expense that they bring

warm water is a must, 86 degrees is pretty good. meaty foods and clean water.

These are cool litle guys. I have purchased 12 of them at 2", that i pickup this sunday at the GCCA swap meet

Can't wait!

wow!! 12 i am only going to be able to get 5 of them, there is a guy in OH that has them for sale thoughout the year so i am going to wait until it warms up. i do not want to drive up there and run into any snow or ice.

ok, just my opinion here, and i dont mean this in a rude way or anything, but if you are asking about how to care for this fish, i really hope you plan to do plenty of research before actually buying them. I would hate to see these fish die when they dont have to. there are lots of zebra pleco forums and sites, i really suggest going to them and reading up.
