L134 Sexing

Hi, I have this group for a while now, raising from fry, except the 'male'. They've been together, however, there is no sign of breeding at all. The 3 fish have occupies their own caves, except one always hiding in drift wood even though there is an empty cave. Could it be that the other 2 that occu...

Anyone seen this before?

Hi All, My Longfin seems to be unwell. There is a white patch near the tail. It's sort of small white tiny bubbles. http://www.plecoplanet.com/forum/photoplog/images/1218/1_IMG_20160328_220741.jpg There's another Bristlenose that seems to develop the same thing in a different tank. Perhaps it's cont...

Re: Synodontis Multipuntatus fry

When I used to breed these, I left them in the cichlid mouth until free swimming. Sometimes they get too big and hard to take out from the cichlids. Best food is fish egg. They hatch before the cichlids and devour them. The growth rate is amazing. I never stripped them like you. It's interesting to ...

Is the fat one male/female?
It's very hairy which I think is a male even though it's fat. :-\

Re: bristle nose pleco babies albino?

Your male definitely has albino gene.
Green dragon is marble?

Don't quote me on this as I'm not too familiar with the concept.
But it's something like this:
X=normal/marble gene
Y=albino

your male would be XY
your female would be YY
offsprings would be XY (25%), YY (25%), YY (25%), YY (25%).

Hi all, Thanks for the replies. I'm amazed that you could identified it correctly. It is indeed an L190. The color of the fish in the photos was deceiving. I was hoping it to be an L27C but the photos show otherwise. So I asked for a friend's advice and was told it's an L27, quite disappointed. But ...

Hi Milan,

I have different types of cave. Round, D-shape, and square made from slate and terracotta.
I thought having many females is better than 1 or 2. Do you think the females fight among themselves?
