im not sure but i've heard that baryancistrus have never been breed.. but goodluck. they like fast flowing stream like biotape. Actually, based from experience they are quite slow growers..

I know someone who breeds different L-numbers, including the LDA033 (snowball).
At the moment, he haves his first young of this species, and he is probably going to sell them in a few months. I probably going to visit him over a month, so I can see how he breeds them, and I'm planning to buy some youngsters.

greetings,

Stijn

I'm going to see him begin next month. I'm going to try to arrange that I can visit him at home to see his fish. I have a good camera, but no digital one. If i can make some good pictures, then I will post them.

Kind regards,

Stijn

Hi,
are you sure, that he really breeds Baryancistrus?

I also want to see it with my own eyes, and that the reason that I want to visit him and take a look. If it is true, I will post it on this site (and try to make some pictures).

Greetz,
