L397 babies transfer to breeder box

Hope everyone is doing well!
Thanks in advance.
I have a batch of eggs in a ziss 85 egg tumbler.
Getting ready to transfer to the breeder box since they hatched yesterday.
Should I get them transferred right away and add some bacter powder and wood or wait another day?

L397 babies escape breeder box

A little redemption I found a dozen babies all on the back of my eheim powerhead. I netted the pump and saved many babies. Any ideas on how I can attract ...

Re: Fungus and a fish lice.

Thanks the fungus seems to be on 2 plecos. Not sure if there fighting at night. I'm thinking to rehoming those 2 fish to another tank to make sure the other plecos are good. Webs water garden has microbelift bacteria and also the lice microblift for great deals. Do fish lice just go away or do they ...

Re: Fungus and a fish lice.

Thanks so much guys!
I haven't seen anymore so just playing it cool.

This fungus is still on a few of my L397.
Should I quarantine any pleco that shows any fungus infection so it won't spread or just treat whole tank. I raised the temperature to 86 and added salt 1 tablespoon for 3 gallons treatment.

Re: Fungus and a fish lice.

Thanks Eric I'm raising the temperature now with my new fluval e series.

I don't see any on any fish just saw this on the glass. I read an article they don't reproduce in the aquarium. Something else I read said I need to treat since they would lay eggs.

Re: ID Yellow chubby pleco Parancistrus aurantiacus

Hi Daniel thanks for your message!
Would it be considered the old name l056y or Parancistrus Aurantiacus.
Meaning the pleco that can eventually turn all yellow?
