Zebra Obliquidens

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Coming along nicely. How’s your survival rate?

I haven’t don’t a count in a while. I have some rocks in there so it’s hard to tell. I think there are at least 20. So 2/3rds survival rate. Not the best, but not the worst either.
 
Little update on these guys. They are about 1” some a bit longer.
At what size should I try adding them back in the main tank? 2” or more?

They look so cute! Depending on hiding places/cover and how many? At 2” they should be ok for sure in my opinion. You may get a loss or two due to aggression, stress, etc, but I think you’ll be fine. I don’t have to tell you what happens as the juvenile males start to emerge. Lol!

Haha, yeah. Once I can tell them apart I’ll get rid of some.
I need to add more rock work to the tank. I’m sure I have a month or so left before they can be added in, so that will give me time to get the tank where I want it:)
Their mom is holding again so maybe having more cover I’ll get more fry without having to raise them separately. Haha

I did a bunch of moving things around and putsing yesterday.
The zebra babies don’t seem to have grown much this month. Keeping them in a breeding basket has messed things up.
I cleared out the 29g and gave them that as a growout tank now. I hope to see better growth now and maybe start seeing some males color up.

They will grow faster now that they are in a larger tank. Those little males will perk up soon! Thanks for the update.

I can’t wait! I’m so excited to see them color up!

This little guy caught my eye with its pattern. I might have to keep this one for myself:)
