I decided to clean out my allocated "fish space"

What a pair of bright sparks
-
Perhaps I should amend my statement. Females may have one row of fine stubble across the top lip but nothing like other Ancistrus females. I have 2 breeding pair of GBA and 1 Breeding pair of red eye GBA, all the females have no facial hair at all
-
I have never seen a female GBA with bristles yet. I am happy to be proven wrong.

Your water clarity is superb, Any chance of a pic of the sump.

I will be able to agree with you in a couple of days I'm really looking forward to their arrival :bounce:

I believe that this species has recently been classified as being a native species. And as such it is now illegal to interfere with its breeding. Please correct me if I am wrong.

I dont wan't to decrease hardness or ph as i am on rainwater (ph 6.0 or lower and very soft) I should have mentioned that before

I got given some Aquatrop J so i have gone with a half dose of that and a couple of tea bags. I have ordered some indian almond leaf to try in another tank
-
Thanks Stella, This is for a catfish tank to try and help stimulate them to breed. I was think more of something that i could add into the filter of place in a stocking at the back of the tank. This would give me the tannins but not the mess. As it is for catfish light isn't really an issue.
-
I want to make a 160L blackwater tank I have been looking at the Indian almond leaves on trade and reading up on oak leaves,peat and moss. Are there other common additives that i can use? Has anyone used tea bags or Aquatrop J?
-

Definitely not a clown

Now that sounds like a challange P44
-
That's that the plan. I will keep many of the first batch to raise as breeders and the rest will be sold to fellow enthusiasts who also plan to breed them.
-
Mine is coming right now. I only started having problems when i introduced the other female to the tank so perhaps they were fighting. Perhaps yours did the same? Must go as monster fish of the amazon is on now on the nat geo channel if your are interested
-
Sorry to hear about your other female What happened? was she in the same tank as the other 2?
-
