There were no large efforts with the fish. It seemed rather
easy to keep 'em alive, however, after three to six months
all died. I didn't try spawning them and haven't also read
here about it. It should be described in the Riehl/Baensch Vol. 4
together with a photo.

--------BRUCE WROTE:
Hello all (and twice to you Chris),
I would like to address an appeal especially to our European listmembers
for any information on the fish of this Genus , especially information on
breeding and keeping under aquarium conditions. Our last trip to Cape York
resulted in 6 live specimens (out of 8 sent) arriving in Brisbane, one has
since departed but they have proved to be quite hardy and quiet as well as
peaceful. Brett Herbert identified them as Z. novae-guineae.
I understand Z. ?dunckeri was kept and bred in Europe for some time.
