Hypancistrus L499 spawn. (1st captive breeding I think?)

Post by ridout »

More or less a year after getting this group thy have finally spawned for me.
These fish were given an "L number" about 6 months a go roughly. Really chuffed with this.
They spawned about 4 weeks ago. I will keep you updated with more pictures but here's some fry pictures so far.

Thats indeed a great achievement by Nick that will help to spread the species in the hobby. Wild specimens cant be expected anymore.
