Uno is a lovely little sucker!

Thank you

Since I consider myself to be amongst friends I have stopped cleaning dust and dirt from my pictures.

About the spines... I don`t know, but I suppose they should be there?

Those spines might turn out to be really important. I mean, new genus important.

Haavard,
If possible document the spines on the fry with pictures until the day they drop off or dissapear, youngsters nor adults don't have these visible not even as a "bumb" under the skin like Leporacanthicus species. Then next time you get fry and even these shows the same type of spines... would be very interesting

Unfortunately I have been missing some of my external flash connections the last few days, but here is an update from this evening:

Uno is kept in a 200 liter with L46 and L240 fry. He already measures 21mm and he is eating. I give him spirulina flakes, crushed peas and earthworm sticks.

That is really great news! Glad to see he is doing well

DJ-don · Post by **DJ-don** » 27 Dec 2009, 04:43

uno looks great!
the spikes give him a very "cool" touch

jac · Post by **jac** » 27 Dec 2009, 05:50

He's looking great

Haavard Stoere · Post by **Haavard Stoere** » 27 Dec 2009, 12:32

He is looking good, alright

Because he has started eating I will wait at least one week before I take him out to photograph again. I don`t wan`t to stress him to often.

Yes, I have never had such a close relationship to a single specimen. Therefore the cheesy naming.

Next time i Photograph him in 2-3 weeks I believe he will have adult coloration.

Looking forward to the next spawning.

Hi
Just curious but are you going to be doing anything different than what you did to induce the first spawn with the next one?.
And have you come to any conclusion as to the amount of infertile eggs in the first spawn other than down to first time trial spawn thing or do you think it could be down to another factor like flow in tank,temp of water,size of cave ect.
I know you know your fish stuff but you must have wondered as to why this has happened I find this one of the more fascinating parts of breeding fish I know i'm no where near your standard but at any level of breeding fish these questions and answers are basically the same and just as interesting to find out.

No, but I believe the next spawn will be successful. The first clutch were probably old eggs.

I believe everything was close to perfect. I simply blame the poor condition of the eggs being laid. Maybe this is wrong?

I believe failure in attemptive breeding is quite normal for some species. The defitive reason in each case I don`t know.

I will look for him tonight and photograph him if he is still alive.

Haavard Stoere · Post by **Haavard Stoere** » 31 Jan 2010, 16:10

Uno is the fastest growing pleco I have ever had. He measures 32 millimeters.

Morten · Post by **Morten** » 31 Jan 2010, 17:06

Hi Haavard,
Uno is just looking great, soon he is just as handsome as his father.

RickE · Post by **RickE** » 31 Jan 2010, 17:53

Thanks Haavard. He really is a handsome little fellow!

dconnors · Post by **dconnors** » 31 Jan 2010, 18:15

Wow! That is really great to see him grow! Thanks for sharing.

Post by **Janne** » 31 Jan 2010, 20:25

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" ;)
