Missing bit(?) in Ancistrus 101.

First, thanks to Shane for a nice article...

In the breeding section, it seems like a piece of text got lost [or not written?] about caves and such.
"The tank should contain one or more spawning tubes (see below)." followed by "They also make things easier after the spawn as I will explain below."

This is followed by "Ancistrus sp.3 and A. triradiatus spawn under similar conditions..." and a list of species, but no details about caves - which is something that gets asked A LOT.

There's also a minor typo: "Ancistrusspawning" should be "Ancistrus spawning" in the first paragraph of "Captive spawning".

Thanks Mats. The article was much longer but I trimmed it down as I did not want to end up with a "How to Breed Ancistrus" piece. Looks like I did not edit it well enough. I can add cave pics. What I really want to add is two very clear photos taken from the same angle of A. sp. 3 and A. triradiatus for easy comparison.

I think cave pics (and size recommendations) would be helpful, as that seems to be the most frequent question I answer [and the fact that they aren't particularly picky about material or general shape as long as it's the right size].

If you have a triradiatus shot, I've got several sp(3) photos (more than on the web-site below), so may be able to help.

pm me if you need help there...

OK, I fixed the typo. You can let me know how to alter the article as you wish.
