New: Multispecies functionality & interactive tutorials

Zebrabase is now suitable for multiple species of fish or any invertabrates that are kept in tanks! The species can be marked with a code or an abbreviation and the life-stage will be updated automatically according to the species specific parameters.

From now on, it is possible to train new users by using interactive tutorials. Our library of tutorials will be continuously developed.

Dear users,
as you may know, our philosophy is to support small and starting labs by providing Zebrabase free of charge. Therefore, we have decided to relax our pricing criteria so that more labs could use Zebrabase.

STARTING FACILITIES
Until you reach 150 active substocks, Zebrabase is free of charge regardless of the facility size. 

SMALL FACILITIES
If your facility consist of no more than 4 racks or 150 tanks, you qualify for the Free plan as well. 

If your facility is larger, you can also benefit from the Free plan. Request you own instance of Zebrabase and test it for a single room or rack to see if it suits your needs. Here, you can read the full pricing details. Don't forget to request your own Zebrabase instance today!
