Thanks

It would be fun to write an article ... we'll see. I have sold my L30, I only have some brood left.

/Mats

I've had my suspicions about my L204 has been spawning again and today I got it confirmed

/Mats

I try to vary the food, but yes my get most meaty food. And they eat a lot of wood. I have the same experience that you have with vegetables, they're not so interested of it.

I forgot spirulina tabs or granular in my last post.

Good luck with your`s

/Mats

I give my different kind of tablets, for example Sera Plankton tabs, Sera O-nip, JBL Novo Pleco, JBL Novo Tab and Tropical Carnivore. Sometimes they get bloodworms and sometimes zuchinni. Maybe not the best diet for L204 but it worked for me. And a few times a month I give them no food at all a few ...

Congrats on getting your L204s to breed.

The two I save is groving ...

Suddenly, when I had moved most of the ...

The cave I use for my L204 is not that big, only 3,8cm x 20cm. The male and the female was in it together so I hope it´s good enough for them.

They showed breeding behavior for two days but no eggs

What can I do to get them in the mood again? Is this a common behavior?

/Mats

To day my L204 shows breeding behavior. The male let the female came in to his cave and after a while he let her out again. The have doing like this whole day. Yesterday was the female trapped whole day so I thought the already spawned.

Her is a movie, unfortunately it´s a bit dark. Is it possible ...

Angry little rascal
