My red zebra babies at 3 weeks old
- Thread starter cinlnk
- Start date
They are in a 5.5 g tank, and yes I already have a LFS that is going to buy them, they will take them at about 1 - 1.5 inches in length. At the rate that they are growing, should be about 2-3 weeks from now ..*thumbsups .... I have a Yellow Lab that is holding.... Hope she stays the course.....She is my prettiest fish.... the Daddy isnt so bad either....
... AND I think one of my Ice blue Zebras is holding..... Woohooo*SUNSMILE* ... I must be doing something right...Im getting a 10 g setup this weekend for a grow out tank, the 5 g will be too small. That will be tank # 6 ............

here is a pic of Mama,a little beat up but doing great
She is currently in a recovery tank growing her fins and tail back.
That is one thing I hate ,when the others beat the holding females up. I watch them really close and try to get them into a holding tank for a day or 2 before I strip them.It is surprisingly easy to strip them...I will try and get a few pics of my other females shortly.Who knows, Maybe I am starting a new career? LOL ... I would love to be able to cut back on my other job...lol

Labor, no, because they have already given birth technically. Inducing them to spit the fry is more like it. Reduces the chances of them swallowing the fry and a better way to ensure a higher survival rate.
