I got 3 young ones yesterday, and they are settling in well among the plants, and seem content among themselves.

I cannot wait for the red colour to develop further.

They looks neat.

L47 is on my wish list for when I get a bigger tank. :lol:

Nice. Do you know what sex of the one in pic no. 3 is?

Male I think. At the moment I think all are males, but 2 of them are very "pairy" like, so time will tell - they are only babies just yet, so should make great specimens as they grow up.

ok. 2 males 1 female.

2 have formed a pair. i should have have eggs after the displays i just witnessed.

wish I was in quicker! I have two females here, so would swap one for a male in a heartbeat lol (and my other half just went to Palmy today, drat)

They spawned today. Both have turned black and are defending a clutch of eggs on a sword's leaf.

I will not be saving the eggs/ babies as I do not have a spare tank, but any locals that want to rear them are welcome to have them if the plecos do not find the eggs tonight.

Beautiful fish.

Man, that is some impressive staghorn........

that is after a bleach and algae fix dip. Im just waiting for my H2O2 to arrive, the seller said it takes longer to arrive as its a hazardous chemical and cannot be sent via normal courier, but its been a week.

pretty much all my plants have gone now, compared to what it was like in my signature line.

If you gave them a bleach bath the staghorn will be dead but it isn't going to magically dissapear, you will need to remove the affected leaves. Poor plants.

This may be a little late but you could probably get some H2O2 at your local chemist too - that's where I got mine

Ive ordered 2L of it, and will take a while to get here the seller said. so im waiting patiently.

what sweet little fish

re the staghorn: are you game enough to do the flourish excel overdose? I did the big load over a few weeks but one was under sand when I did it and then grew back - for 2 days I hit it twice with slightly more than the daily recommended dose (nowhere near what I was doing originally) and it went pink and disappeared the next day or so later

since then I've been doing 1ml a night (my recommended dose) and the algae is very much under control. I used to get light green fuzz on the glass too - no more of that either so far, I'm pretty happy about that. And all with sunlight in the room.
