Re: Auchenipterichthys coracoideus (zamora woodcat) spawned
I spoke(posted) too soon about them breaking the pattern... Tonight, finally, I found the next spawn, albeit 12 days since the last spawn. Many of these eggs are bad, but there are plenty of good eggs scattered in the tank. Will collect the eggs in the morning to get a count of good eggs. 10 January...

Re: Auchenipterichthys coracoideus (zamora woodcat) spawned
Cessation of spawning aside, the fry from the six spawns are doing great! I suspect I have at least 400 babies growing out. I'm moving them to a 40 gallon tank soon. The Ziss breeder box is way too crowded.

Re: Auchenipterichthys coracoideus (zamora woodcat) spawned
Sadly, the pattern has broken. I did a water change on 25 February. It was the first WC since before my 10 January spawn. I wondered if that would either trigger the next spawn or alter the water quality and stop the spawning. Maybe it mattered; maybe it didn't... but the result is no new spawn. It'...

Re: Tank size corydoras weitzmani
I've put 10 C. sterbai in a tank that size. It can be done if you keep the water quality high. But it can also be a fragile balance and is at risk of water chemistry changes if you don't keep it stable.

Re: L27 vs L190 as juvenile and adult
Hello,
I'm not entirely clear on what you're asking. Are you asking if the two species can be told apart as juveniles? Are you asking if they'll grow to look the same as each other when they're adults?
Cheers,
Eric

Pics today of one Pseudopimelodus aff_bufonius in tank (the usual view I have of them) and of another individual, caught randomly. The latter is 13.6cm SL; this fish is "random" in that I did not attempt to catch the largest fish, although I think it might be the largest fish. If you compa...

Re: L306 breeding advice
Congratulations on your spawns! No, it's a standard Ziss BL-2. I chose it because it has a solid floor, which provides two benefits: 1) it prevents microworms from falling out of the box (a problem even with the fine mesh of the German breeder rings) and 2) when you drain the parents' tank for a wat...

Lol. Indeed, bamboo stinks as it soaks, but it's so good as a spawning cave or hiding place. The worst wood I ever tried was an old grape vine ( https://www.planetcatfish.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=299723#p299723). It developed a horribly smelly thick slime. I was hoping the L397 might eat the slime,...

Re: Ancistrus sp. Rio Ucayali spawned. :-)
Second clutch of eggs hatched and the previous group of fry are doing good. Not surprising, but somehow there are a few of the older fry loose in the tank too. Either dad let a few get away from him, or else a few managed to escape the German breeder ring.
