Re: Rio Itaya black Rineloricaria lanceolata spawned

Was that second spawn actually two spawns at once? The mystery may be solved! Dad's already on eggs for two days, and another female is back in his bamboo laying MORE eggs!

Cheers,
Eric
Rineloricaria lanceolata: One male. One bamboo pipe. Two spawns at once? TWICE?

Re: Rio Itaya black Rineloricaria lanceolata spawned

Hi Jeanne, so far, I've pulled out only 3 or 4 dead from the first spawn. I imagine a few more have have died, but I haven't seen more dead bodies from that box and I still have at least 100 of the one-month old babies. So survival rate is over 90% at this time.

Cheers, Eric

Re: Rio Itaya black Rineloricaria lanceolata spawned

This morning, after I fed the babies from the first two sets of babies, I was rethinking the weird dynamic of the second spawn: The first eggs started hatching on day 12 of incubation, a day later than the first spawn (that in itself is no big deal). However,... By day 17 of incubation, there were a...

Re: Let's try this again Day 1 Sturisomatichthys spawn

Better luck this time. Can you remove "Big Daddy" to a different tank so that he can't either eat the eggs or bother the smaller dad male? If that's not possible, how about cutting your filter uplift and creating a "swappable" segment so that when any dad spawns on the pipe, you ...

Corydoras(ln9) sp(cw115) or Corydoras(ln9) sp(c079)? Not Orinoco but in the drainage.

Re: Corydoras leucomelas

Here's the distribution of Corydoras(ln9) leucomelas records on file at GBIF.org. Definitely in Colombia, and one record is along the Rio Irindiri, close to the Atabapo and Orinoco.

Re: Meds

What kind of plecos? I usually treat with PraziPro, then tank the fish with healthy common Ancistrus and let the poop accumulate. I think they new fish get inoculated by the poop germs of the healthy fish.

Good luck,
