It has been a while and I noticed I forgot to update on the fry. So here goes :d
They are doing great. Slow growing species. The group hasn't spawned since.



In this video there are a few more interesting F1's. Ancistrus sp. L255 and Parancistrus nudiventris :icon-wink:
Every great achievement begins with a dream ;-)

Dang you breed some really nice fish, jac. Someday I hope to have space to keep the medusa-type Ancistrus.

Keep up the great work - and the sharing. ;-)

Cheers, Eric

Looks like a small slice of the Xingu (with a little terracotta) the fishes look really clean and healthy.

Last week the pair spawned again :d



I left the eggs with the male, who did a good job! By day 4 he lost a few of the eggs so I collected them and put them safe in a frying.



On day 5 he decided he had enough and kicked the rest of them out. They started hatching later that day and into the next morning. All are doing very well :-BD

Wow, really cool. Amazing the eggs don’t get eaten.
Did you say “CATFISH!?” I’m in.
