Hypancistrus L173 breeding

Post by brechtvh »

In november 2012 I bought some L173 youngsters in Germany. These came from the same source as the pictures in the cat-e-log.

Some pictures

Sunday 16th of november could I spot one couple together in a cave, the day after I allready found the first clutch of eggs guarded by the male.
After 3 days I took the eggs away and did them in an egg tumbler, the breeding tank is also housed by some Geophagus and I wouldn't take the risk to loose some of these fry.

Some videos!

Hatching of the eggs between day 4 and 5 after laying the eggs. Afterwards I helped them myself coming out of the eggshell.

Hi brechtvh,
I tried to watch the videos at their Youtube addresses, and they didn't work for me either. I think the problem might be at YouTube, not here. Perhaps you should check to make sure they play properly on YouTube.
Cheers, Eric

Thanks,

No, I onlu use the tumbler when necessary.
They were geophagus is the breeding tank, so that's why I took the eggs after 3 days.
