same areas collection question

Post by Proteus »

Is the ancistrus dolichopterus and liosomodoras oncinus found in the same areas in the waters of rio negro?

I read from somones blog that they're typically found in blackwater conditions with no current.

My aim if they're both found in the same areas to attempt keeping both in the same tank for the time being.

Thanks!

Due to zlich feedback from forum members I'll be taking the plunge and combining both and doing a blackwater biotope tank hopefully I am able to collect enough OAK leaves to last me through the winter.


L183s and the Jaguar cats have now been combined in the same holding tanks. I have not yet seen any cause for concerns so far need to find the perfect balance in the water temperature. 78-80

The Liosomadoras appear to tolerate almost any water conditions, as long as it's wet! ;)

My concern would be that if you want to breed the L183, the fry will probably not do too well.
