	Pseudotropheus zebra
McLean Hobbyist Posts: 70 Kudos: 124 Votes: 1 Registered: 07-Jun-2004	How do I prepare Pseudotropheus zebra for breeding? And do I have to put a pair in a tank alone or do I leave them in the Malawi Tank?

Doing this aswell has having a few caves will increase your chances of breeding them. Doing a water change and replacing it with cooler water can also trigger them in breeding (as what i've heard, i could be wrong). Also you can just leave them in your normal Malawi tank to breed. I hope that helped you.
