I have two 20 gallon tanks, T5's lights, stack metal stand, HOT magnum filters, sand sediment. I have 10 fish. No, it was not cheap, but it's been on my mind longer than the 60 gal Reef, so the 60 cubes goes to storage and I did not want more noise or heat or add a chiller(it gets well over 100F here) where I live. Maybe in my next home etc.
So the Zebras are one of those fish I've loved for several decades.
I love rare plecos in general.
Always have, always will.
For now, I removed the Altums and might come back to those later. Someone offered me a lot for them, so.............now I can afford these little guys
They use to be somewhat cheap, but got banned along with blue eyes and a number of other cats. Blue eyes use to sell for about 15-20$. Now? 10,000-20,000$ even.
Nuts.
Zebras are nice and small. My tap is perfect, I'm good about food, current etc.
Got all that down well and breeding caves/sizing etc. It takes a while, it's not something to make $ at, plants are much better for me there
But I love these fish and know I have buyers for any and all fry.
Right now I'm trying to think how I want to set up these two tanks for them.
I have tonnes of manzanita wood, rocks etc, but I need to also have good caves set up for them. These will be man made, or I might spend some time drilling into so wood to hollow them and them stack together for a more natural look.
I'm not sure, but CRS's might make it together with zebras.
I'll likely have Xmas moss rocks/branchy sticks etc.
Suppose I could do Fissidens as well, but I'd rather have easy to grow weeds.

Tom Barr
