Just for the record the one on the right turned male also....

Hello to all. My Hypancistrus Contradens spawn a couple o weeks back and the youngsters are finally out of the cave. Here some pics...I have counted 10 of them till now... http://www.catfish.gr/pics/Hypancistrus_Contradens/Hypancistrus_Contradens_a.jpg http://www.catfish.gr/pics/Hypancistrus_Contrad...

Hi there. Pics do not help but i have two comments. These fish supposed not to be cave spawners/how this can be replicated in a tank? Second from the second fish a can clearly see (correct me if wrong) a white 'liquid' coming from it's genital which to me looks like semen (?) I believe they are two ...

I believe that it is indeed

I currently have more than 10 L65 and 1 L282, i have never seen in person an L97 but i believe by the pics you provided that your fish is L65 since the spots are irregular in comparison to the L97...

Can you post more pics displaying the fish from the top?

i 'd say

How big is it?

The orange collour is starting to show up. I removed 29 of them today from the original aquarium into a smaller frybox that is ventilated with water from the main tank. I found out that the first 15 babies i took out was growing twice as much as the rest. And it has been no loss in the box. Got a p...

I agree....

I second that!

Kouen, Keep a close watch on the quality of the water. Four fish of that size produce a lot of waste! CoryWally and husky_jim I am hoping to add solid data to the L114 / L600 discussion soon. I currently have over 100 3month old pure 'L600' fry and over 200 1month old fry where the male is an L600 ...

Without wanting to railroad this thread, what's the general concensus between L114 and L600? Are they regarded separate species or regional variants. The breeding log in Shane's World describes various breeding experiences with mixed parents, without any concerned comment on hybridisation. The reas...

Hi, I don´t think they are L 114, they look more like Pseudacanthicus leopardus to me, due to the very small spots on the head. But the caudal fin is kind of irritating me, cause of the orange part. Bigger pics might help. I agree, that first one is a male, and last one looks like it could be a fem...

All fish are L114.

I cannot tell cause the pics are not expanding but i believe the first one is a male and the last one female.

Can you post bigger pics?

Sorry for your loss....the good thing is that she did not suffer...

My dobe is 8 years old and with wobbler syndrome...imagine a dog that never stopped running not been able to stand up nowdays....

Sorry for the long delay for updated photos of the fry. They are all doing well. Here they are at 68 days post hatch L600fry_day68bsmall.JPG Regards,Jim Very beautiful!Keep us updated. An interesting observation is that the fry in the picture above exhibit an 'L114' tail pattern...How are the rest ...

Congrads Ole!

Keep us updated!!!

This is the only reasonable conclusion as the most decayed fish was the trapped female.The first fish from the right in the group shot....

Hi guys. I guess this easter vacation turned to be really bad for me....I was off for four days and i got back finding this.... My big tank with my three pairs of P.Leopardus was a mess i really cannot understand what happened... This is the original group i got back in 2008 and last year i had two ...

The first looks like to me...

The third one is a cory but which?Nice find!

There was a great presentation on breeding L177 in the first L-Number days, (almost) two years ago. Here some pics i took back then... As i can remember and you can see from the slides they where bred in extremely high temperatures!!! I can't wait the next L-Number days!!!!! :-BD http://www.aquazone...

There is only a single full body pic on the paper.The specie is small (less than 5cm SL - holotype is 47,2mm)and they produce a very small amount of relative big eggs.

Quote from www.sciencedaily.com : An extensive investigation of South American Corydoras catfish, reveals that catfish communities- although containing almost identically coloured and patterned fish, could actually contain three or more different species. Establishing for the first time that many sp...

Guys this is my personal webserver/Site.How did you access it? It's been posted at rareaquatics.co.uk and plecoplanet.com.

I have remove it as i respect the copyright.Sorry for the trouble....

I had this beauty some years ago.It was very peaceful and unique small panaque.
Unfortunately it was imported accidentally so there was only one of them.

I'll try to find a pic of him...

They have been bred over there for some time. Some of the farms I went to in Malaysia was breeding them as well as , Pseudacanthicus, Scobinancistrus and huge numbers of Albino and normal gibbies (thousands upon thousands of them) as well as black rays, SA Arrowana's, RTC's and RTC hybrids and a nu...

The other thing that bothers me about the large Panaque is where they lay their eggs. Jools When they are bred in ponds in Asia they lay their eggs in a hole dug under a large piece of wood sunken wood. They usually will not breed without massive current and quite decent depth therefore often a typ...

This is in fact the case for the large Acanthicus so why not be the same for the large Panaque's????
