finally they did it!

Post by johni »

Hi there!

Got 40-45 youngsters of L141 Ancistomus snethlagae in the grow out tank.

For 2 years I tried to make them breed. Nothing happened.
Now after 3.5 weeks of doing nothing, just feeding, they made me happy :d

I love this species. I find it quite simple in "coloration" but so beautiful.

Water parameters:
30,0
PH 7.2
KH 5
GH 8
uS 220

Tank size: 500lt. (150x60x50high)

Greetings,
Hannes

Hello!

I just thought I`d share this picture of the L141 babies.
It was taken end of August 2012 (approx. 2,5cm in length)
Today they measure about 5-6.5cm

I will add some newer pictures soon.

Greetings
Hannes
