3 Dead Zebs!

oh dear, but if you say they perked up after the move then it would suggest there is a problem with the water in the tank at home??
is your last zeb a male or female?

I believe the problem lies within the water at home, ive tested the tank with 3 different kits now as the first one id had a year, the second id borrowed off a friend and then purchased a 3rd for process of elimination, all show exactly the same results or near as. ive closed the tank down at home as i just couldnt risk losing more hypan adults than i already have, (4 zebs and 6 l400 due to a stuck on heater!)

As mentioned in yesterdays post a burst pipe outside the office doesnt do anything to calm my paranioa regarding water quality either!

Im unsure of the sex of the last zeb to be honest Irene, it never caves, isnt agressive and doesnt try and dominate, but its still a little small to sex even at 2.5 years old. i shall try and get some proper photos up when i clean the tank next week.

Oh thats so sad, hypans can be nasty little boogers :wb:

your right there joby :-(

after taking the dead zeb from the cave yesterday (took nearly 2 hours to remove as the l270 wanted to make sure it was dead!) it had no tail, fins and no stripes, it even had an eye out. :cry:

Sorry to hear about your loss mate :cry:

Cheers mate, i'll keep the chin up though as i still have other sets of adult hypans and 60+ fry to keep me occupied.
