Hi again,
It's been awhile since I was on the board but really very puzzled right now
I've had 5 zebra plecos for several years and now they are spawning
Pretty exciting at first for sure but now I'm extremely puzzled
First batch they had three fry and about five to seven days after they used their yolk sack up they
Died one by one
I then dewormer the tank with half dose of prazipro due to having lots of discus here that I breed
The next batch of three fry pretty much died the same amount of time
Also the last batch I pulled 4 dead ones out still one alive for now
Readings on my tank are nitrate 5, nitrite and ammonia 0
Temperature is 83 to 84 in a 30 gallon with black sand
Two marineland hob 360 c sponge filter
Feeding them pleco pellets, beefheart,frozen brine shrimp, flakes and crushed tetra bits
If someone can pick my brain what's going on would be appreciated
Thanks
Heather
