thanks.
They are now 2 weeks old. The yolk sac is long gone, they have grown by 1mm, and they are adjusting to real food

pics please Maxine. You could catch a couple and take their portraits in a jar

Welcome. There should be a few serious African cichlid keepers on here.
-
Nice work. I look forward to pics of the sharks
-
Welcom aboard and good luck with your new tank
-
Sure sounds good.
-
looks superb. Great job and a cool first fish
-
Hi Adrienne, If you are willing to ship I am interested
-
Thanks. They are about a week old so they will be feeding any day now. I've raised a few young but its always nice to raise a new species.
-
Thanks
-
Yeah its always nice when you breed a species for the first time. I thought they had at least 6 months to go before they were ready to breed
-
Here was me thinking my Colombian zebra plecos (L129) were too small and too young to breed. I looked in one of the caves a week ago and a 6 cm young male had trapped a female. I thought you're a dreamer until two days later when he was fanning a batch of eggs
-
It's great food for plecos. Soilent green was a hit and now I am trying morning wood, bottom scratcher, and meat pie for the cactus and goldie plecos.
-
Awesome. Nice work Adrienne.

Sorry to hear about that Paul.

Well said Adrienne. Its always a risk for the importers and if they haven't been brought in for several years (that I know of) then there is likely to be a reason for it.
Maybe one day. From memory there was an article written by a member several years ago (before I was into keeping tropical fish) on breeding one of the species. So at least one species must have been here before.

Congratulations. Beautiful fish and a great size. :thup:
I agree with David your smaller ones do look like L191 which is still a very beautiful pleco but likely a different species to L190.

:gpo2: Congratulations
-
his answers have changed from last time I looked
-
Yeah that makes sense. The bigger Panaques certainly create a heap of top soil. You might need a large filter or a sump to handle the waste
-
That doesn't sound good re the Panaque and foam filter .....
Anyway nice job. The fish room is looking great.
-
Yeah 6 different fish. They squabble plenty and have a pecking order - the big male at the bottom rules the roost. At least one of the females usually looks gravid. Hopefully they'll breed at some stage. I have recently been given a custom made German cave so fingers crossed.
A nice surprise
