HELLO AGAIN!!! (old user back online)
Hey everyone,
I'm back! lol i used to be a regular on the forum but lost my breeding group of 23 to a power cut about 4 years ago
I've been on and off here since then, mainly looking at the "sales" bit lol as i've been trying for all that time to get some more zebbies.......well
i'm back because yesterday.....i collected a group of 9 5/6 year old wild caughts.
They were advertised and i bought them as "all males" but on getting them home i've id'd them and there is 1 definite female and 1 possible female so i'm very happy!!
Took ages to acclimatise them tho as when i got them home and checked his water he was keeping them at PH7.5, TDS 450! and 500mg/l Nitrates!!! no wonder he couldnt get the to breed eh! lol
They are now in PH6.8, TDS 70 and trace nitrates....and seem a lot happier
Anyway, i'm in sheffield UK and will probably post some pictures soon and look forward to catching up with everyone.
Oh....and if anyone has any "spare" females they'd like to swap for a male or sell.....please get in touch.

Re: HELLO AGAIN!!! (old user back online)
Yeah Joby it was definitely upsetting!! i'm not to proud to admit i cried! lol
But on with the future, and my group is really nice, i've got an enormous male, so wide and high, never seen one so big! i'm hoping he turns out to be the dominant one!
and feel free to contribute any females to my breeding efforts Joby

Welcome back Andy & good luck with your new group.
The move could trigger them off, keep up regular water changes.

Life is good. Like yourself we have another addition to the family, which now makes 2 wee boys. So Happy days all round. I am also spending alot more time at home and in the country instead of galavanting off to strange far off places
Congrats on the new arrival, fantastic news!
