Re: Large Aequidens and Brochis Splendens

Hi!

I only can tell you that I have had Aequidens metae (15cm) together with some Otocinlcus sp.
All the Otocinclus were eaten.

Re: L239 eggs

Hi!

Yesterday I found new eggs (approx. 15)
Guarded by the same male in the same cave.

They are really busy for me at the moment :-BD

The 5 youngsters of the second batch are doing good.

Re: finally they did it!

Hello!

I just thought I`d share this picture of the L141 babies.
It was taken end of August 2012 (approx. 2,5cm in length)
Today they measure about 5-6.5cm

I will add some newer pictures soon.

Re: L239 eggs

Hi there! The eggs were hatched in an incubator as the first batch (in December) was eaten by the male fish. I know 5 fish from 18 eggs is not a high rate. Nevertheless I am happy. It was my first try with the incubator. I hope I can raise all five. @ Barbie: pictures coming tonight. Cheers, thanks ...

Hello!

I keep these fish for 3 years now. They showed breeding behaviour in January 2012 but nothing happened.

Now I have approx. 15 eggs in a cave guarded by the male.

Re: Harder to breed; L7 or L29?

Hello!

Thanks for your messages!
They confirm my thoughts.

I just asked because in the net I see many breeding articles and fry-pictures of L7.
Information about L29 is rather rare.

Re: Spectracanthicus murinus fry

Hello!

I still have one fry in a small growout tank installed in the main tank.
Today I started feeding my single fry with smashed plankton tabs & cyclops.
You can already see the white-yellow stripe on the dorsal as well as on the caudal fin.
