Hi,
A few month ago I have found some wild Ancistrus. I took 3, 1M / 2F.
2 weeks later, the first spawn was done. This is an abstract with picts :
This is one of the 2 females. Not very shy, but she loose her colors as soon as she get out of her cave.
Female 2 : very shy, but she keeps her colors... With youngs Peckoltia sabaji
This is a true "bristle-nose", isn't it? It's a very beautiful fish. His "bristles" became more clear when he is guarding something.
The first spawn done on the 09/07 (7/september)oops...
the second, 09/17
All was all right until the last week. Third spawn done probably on 21/10, and the clutch has been ejected 2 days later. I tried to put it again in the cave, the male kept it for 1 day and it has desappeared. I found it 2 days later on the morning, and I put it in a nursery.
This is the installation.
This is the clutch
The clutch and some young hatching
2 days later
Today.
general view on the installation
Some youngs. Look at the youngs who stay on the bottom of the nursery
Some youngs have a problem. they are very fat, it looks like they have some air in their yolk sac.
Any idea?
Thank you!
