Hi Haavard,

Re: Breeding Ancistrini sp. L082
And he dont longer looks like a punk rocker... I think it would be a good idea of you putting together the pictures to one showing the development in the fry, like Jools said... this can be a key for a new family "Havardiencis" ;)

Re: Breeding Ancistrini sp. L082
Uno is now an older brother
On Tuesday 155 eggs were laid. On Saturday I lost 20. (They turned white) On Sunday I lost 2 (turned white). Monday I lost 20 due to leakage and premature hatching, an Tuesday(today) I lost 31 due to leakage. The total number of healthy hatch-lings today are 82.
Cheers:)

Fantastic Haavard, well done! Hope they all turn out to be as handsome as Uno. (But a little less troublesome to raise maybe!)

Re: Breeding Ancistrini sp. L082
You see, I told you they will breed again and than again ;) Can you provide me with the correct water parameters... everything, and I will try to explain for you why the eggs leakage and or are to early hatched. I have had that problem a few times too and it's always the water (me to lacy not keeping the water on top).

Re: Breeding Ancistrini sp. L082
man haarvard you the man!!! Its so amazing looking thru this thread from front to back, its like a mini novel and its truly amazing pictures and fine detail you give is just incredible, I learned so much in last hour reading this, I feel as if I owe you something in return But uno is got to be the most popular talked about lil guy on this site right now and I would keep him for a momento not to mention first f1 to survive in captivity~~!!! I hope you get more spawns and able to get a future breeeding colony down the road, I didnt even know of the L082 until now and they are gorgeous.. I dont even think its possible to get them now? I never seen any forsale.. but goodjob keep us updated and posted.. I love all your fish and tank setups, you truly have a great passion for this hobby and it is a priveldge to read your in depth posts and instructions on raising and successfully breeding these diff types of species.

Re: Breeding Ancistrini sp. L082
That would be super. I will do some measurements of ph, conductivity, gh and nitrate, but I will have to find me equipment first. I rarely do tests.Janne wrote:You see, I told you they will breed again and than again ;) Can you provide me with the correct water parameters... everything, and I will try to explain for you why the eggs leakage and or are to early hatched.

Today I am down to around 60 frys as I removed all the ones with visible problems. I left a single pair of siamese twins. They are much smaller than the other ones and seem to be joined in the abdominal area. If possible I will raise them.

Re: Breeding Ancistrini sp. L082
It happens sometimes but is quite uncommon, I head one fry with 2 heads (4 eyes and 2 mouths) that survived for a couple of months maybe reached 2,5-3 cm before it died.Haavard wrote:I left a single pair of siamese twins.

It may be right now, but I would guess that pic-of-the-thread will be when there are a whole bunch of these guys feeding in a grow-out tank.DJ-don wrote:pic of the thread!!!
