zebra L46 short video mating and fanning

Hi, managed to get some clips of zebs
less intrusive than still pics as no lights involved, hence pic not over brilliant.
first he is mating, he has a female trapped under him (her tail to his left side),
but there is also a fry from his last breeding feeding on the top of the cave

then 2 days later here is a clip of him fanning eggs
I was really chuffed as it looks like a good sized bunch of eggs this time (he only had 4 young last time)

soooooooo jealous! Cant wait till mine breed im going to be so excited

Great vids

Awesome !!!

thanks folks, glad you like them. the young are coming on nicely, I have 7 young from 3 different matings. however I got too greedy and though i could get more if I took the young from him when they had hatched and raise them in a fry saver. But he would not let them tipout and killed them!! so I will have to let him do it his way.
