So I have a whole bunch of fry and they all seems to be doing quite well. However, I've noticed the male fanning again the last few days and just noticed some eggs. Certainly didn't want this. Is the best option to remove one (or both) females? If I get rid of the eggs, they're just going to make ...

Hmm interesting! Thanks for the info

So I have quite a few little BNs swimming around now and wondering how normal it is to have half of the albino and half normal? Given that their parents are both not albino

It had been around 5-7 days with no signs of hatching so I turned the temp up to 25.5 today. A couple of hours later and I have some little wrigglers coming through! I hope a decent amount survive. The tank mates are guppies and kuhli loaches - I should be right with them?

Yeah he's definitely a male. Found him guarding some eggs 4 days after transferring to a new tank

Here's the tank:

And the eggs

Managed to get a few shots of the three together. Quite a noticeable difference in size

Put in some plants and driftwood today. They seem to be taking a liking to it!
I'll try and get a close up of the more dominant one when he/she surfaces from its cave.

Ok brilliant, I'll give it a go and see if there are any results. Thanks for the input Eric

Thanks for the info mate. They were all basically the same size when I got them but the most dominant one is definitely growing faster than the others. It's bristles are around 4mm long and the other two don't even have any noticeable bristles yet. I put food in separate locations so that they can ...

I've tried searching for a general answer but am wondering if it's possible to determine how old my bn's might be. The biggest of the three is approximately 7cm (2.75 in) in length from nose to the end of the tail. Any indications would be greatly appreciated!

Put the rock in tonight and they've almost completely cleaned it within 15 minutes!

Awesome, thanks heaps mate, much appreciated

Hi everyone, I've been growing some algae on a rock in a jar. Just wondering if I can place it straight in the tank for the plecos? Or is there something I need to do to prepare it?

Thought you might be interested in some more photos of my plecos. The largest ones bristles are growing quickly!

Ok good to know. Yeah, I have been placing zuchinni in a few different spots and weighing them down with stainless steel rivets

Thanks Barbie. One of my plecos is a little bigger than the other two and seems to enjoy chasing the other two away whenever there is food about and they get too close. I'm a little worried that the two smaller ones aren't eating enough. Is this common behaviour?

Thought that might have been the case. Have I got the type of fish right though?

Hey everyone, just thought I'd say hi and show you some photos of my(what I think are) Ancistrus cirrhosis. Had a read around the forum and that seems to be the closest to what I've got. Not sure if they're male or female but the biggest of the three has some small bristles around the nose only so I ...
