Baby Zebras - A Thing of Beauty

Description

Now, I'm not one to take photos, and I certainly never expected to upload any like this on DA

But this is so special, I HAVE to share this - they're magnificent, totally perfect and although I can't take any credit, a truly beautiful work of art :squee: 

For those of you not involved in fish-keeping (you're missing out by the way!) these are L046 zebra plecos (Hypancistrus zebra) a stunning, carnivorous pleco reaching 10-12cm on average. They are native to Brazil, in the river Xingu where a huge hydro-electric dam is being constructed - this could wipe them out.

My partner and I have been so engrossed in our University work, we hadn't even noticed they'd spawned, but we've just seen 5 or 6 of them at about 1cm... Boogie! 


I feel so blessed! :squee:
