Up the eyebrows in baby African catfishes.....

Post by sidguppy »

just to let you people know that all is still going very well in the catfish-bredery:

just made my "round", with flashlight and all (felt a bit like an old cop)

so far:
2 Synodontis petricola Burundi youngsters growing slowly, doing fine.

about 10 or so Phyllonemus typus babies growing fast; about 2-3 cm now; I recently sold the first batch, those were about 4-5 cm!

My new Lophiobagrus brevispinis pair (pair #2 to get a bigger genepool) had a bunch; these -about 11- are eating and doing fine, tiny black critters.

A leftover nest of Ancistrus domesticus of about 15 now swimming free and grazing (not African, but the parents bred in my Treopheus-breeding tank)

Lophiobagrus brevispinis pair #1 (the ones in the CotM) have a new batch! white wrigglers glued to the back of the ol' PVC-pipe....both parents dutifully block the entrance.

Lophiobagrus pair #2's female decided this time she's off; the male's suck with a new batch of eggs; she's on holiday romping the tank :roll: emancipation you know :wink:

Phyllonemus typus pair doesn't do emancipation. They DO have their mouths full with batch number...euh....lost count :oops:

Synodontis petricola Burundi are spawning again in my showtank; hopefully again near the biofilter; wouldn't mind more babies.

Synodontis polli are all REALLY fat and REALLY active......
