Here's fry in different stages growing up in the same tank as the parents. There is also a breeding group of Aspidoras raimundi in the tank

I have my pair of Sturisomatichthys aureus in a 180litres tank, 100x60x30 cm. I don't take out the eggs nor the fry. I have the lights on 24/7 to keep the tank with algea, im on the third spawn since December. The male is now on his fourth round with eggs, and the first round is passed critical size...

Hi, they are definitely captive bred. All the thousands and thousands of L 519 are going back to a good dozen of specimens that were once brought back from South America. They are comparable in their demands with most of the longer known species of Ancistrus and easy to breed. Meanwhile many breede...

I'm gettin'em from a shop that is shutting down, so i don't know to much yet. But i just came home from two talks tonight, were i learned a few more things about them. Most likely captive bred.

I'm picking up a group of these tomorrow. Anyone have any experience with this beauty?

Even so, from your photo it appears your fish has two rows of abdominal scutes, although I wouldn't bet anything on it.

Cheers, Eric

it`s two rows.

This is the best i could get

I picked up 3 of these, anyone know if this is a described species?

Got me 3 of these, what seems to be 2 females and one male. I gave them a 399 liters tank, 210x50x38cm. These are about 20cm in lenght.

Due to the pics in the Cat-Elog, I'm quite agreeable on P. bufonius.

I'll see if i can get some tomorrow, been on a 15hrs roadtrip today, so now it is bedtime!

Picked up these two today, in the area of 20cm plus. Imported from Columbia.

Lamontichthys stibaros

.

Jools

This is my first ever Lamontichthys, don't know how similar they are to each others. I did even have a look at the L. sp. Columbia. Seems like that the L. stibaros has a taller dorsal, or pointier if you will. Dunno

I have no location

I bought this one the other day, sold as L. llanero. Any takers on a different species?

Might have to go back to Trinidad and collect some more then

I have some fry that seems to make it, but not close to the amount of eggs. Will try a different approach on the next batch.

Thanks!

They are dropping eggs every 14th day or so. Haven't had chance to save them all. But I'll try to save them on a regular basis from now.

It might be, I'm trying to get hold of the pictures of the parents of these ones.

Not even 4 inch total lenght

Better picture of one of the parents

I bought a couple of small specimens about one and a half month ago. Today i found some fry in my tank. The parents are less than 4 inch body lenght. Sorry for the bad pictures.
