Norman, how are your Apithanos growing?

A few weeks ago i find some small/medium (4cm till 9cm) P.Apithanos for sale. I buy 8 apithanos, 3 for my and 5 for a friend of my. I hope for a extra male, or 2.....

Beautiful fish and rays!

Hi Niels, great tank setup an very nice catfish specimens .

What are you going to do with the youngsters ?

I dont have enough time to raise young apithanos, i tried many time. So when the yolk sac is gone i put the young apithanos in a well planted tank, whit a group of N.Rubrocaudatus. I hope ...

Some pictures of my fish.

Just arrived.

You find some spawning reports of the rubrocaudatus? You hope/think that there spawning just like the morthenhalerie?

I read some article that the rubrocaudatus have been catched by Ph 5.5 and TDS around 20. But for the rest there is less information about this fish.

About 3 weeks i get some new ...

Do you have some information how you breed the N.Morthenhalerie? Temp, parameters etc....

I have also a group of N.Rubrocaudatus. Till now i have not seen any activity of spawning, unfortunately.

How is it going in your tank?

Hmm that type of 'paper' is very handy. I have to buy that also.

At this moment i have only 5 young apithanos, the rest died. But the next clutch is almost there.

Norman do you have a album at planet? I already visit your "my aquaria".

Hi Niels,

Here they are around six weeks old. The biggest is around 2.5cm and the smallest 1.8cm.

I am sorry but this is too small for this age.
With arround one month they should have reached a size of at leat 3,5cm. Most other species in the releationship of P. apithanos are growing faster ...

A total picture of the tank i just took just a few minutes ago.

Yesterday i chanched 50% water and a hour later i saw them spawning. Unfortunately i got a low battery of my camera . But it whas wonderful to see them spawning. And the next morning i saw this.

No one has asked this yet, but what size tank is this and what kind of filtration and other fish are in here? I am contemplating getting some the next time I find them available (really expensive, run about $75 a fish last time they were available in the US)

Here they cost between €70 and €90 a ...

You mean - corydoras trilineatus.

About your L107 i dont think it is a Ancistrus sp. The spots look bigger and the color looks yellow to me on the picture. Perhaps a Hypancistrus L201???...

Great pics, you live in a beautiful area!

Looking for some food whit a clutch of eggs

Congratulations.

This is an amazing fish, and a very interesting family.
I see you holding the fish with other fishes, and I am therefore interested in knowing how you bread them. I've got egg on my group of Pseudohemiodon apithanos , but I have yet not hatched the eggs. When the male keep the ...

Fantastic spawning! Really beautiful fish.

What do you feed the fry?

O.S.I Spirulina flakes
