ThomasK Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 Or just a general question. I have a male and female in a 75g tank...I take extremely good care of it as theres nothing else to do up in Grande Prairie other than drink beer. I have had the fish for around a year now, they are a decent size and have great colours.....the male likes to pick on the 3 kenyis I have in my tank quite a bit. Anyways, how mature/aged do they have to be before they will breed? Is it an age thing or size thing? I have a friend that would like to get into the hobby and fish are very pricey up here...I would like to just give him some fry but it dosnt seem to be happening. Do I need to add a couple more females? The fish in the tank are 2.5 inch or so, im a little bit worried about adding some smaller fish to find a female. Thanks....Im new to this and really appriciate the site! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaykit Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 From my little experience, its more an age thing but i could be wrong. Here's some info for you: http://animal-world.com/encyclo/fresh/cichlid/RedZebra.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThomasK Posted February 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 I test every category almost twice a week... We are out on an acreage with fantastic well water, none of that treated stuff! I think its just going to take a little time and patience.

fairdeal Posted February 9, 2011 Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 If you have had the red zebras for a year they are more than old enough to breed. How often do you do water changes and how much each time? How often do you feed them and what do you feed them? What is the water temperature? How many other fish in the tank, what types and what sizes? We can offer some suggestions if you expand a bit on the information. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
