mr pleco Posted June 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2007 yep awesome thanks hans still have about twenty or so well i can count around 15 at a time but im sure theres more the parents went into spawning again last week but didnt quite pull it off ( no eggs ) think it might be the babies coz they were in the cave and all over the place reckon they are around 2 inches in size now so thinking bout seperating them from the parents so i can hopefully respawn the adults Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Faran Posted July 31, 2007 Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 Looks like mine finally got a batch out. Here's a couple pics of the youngster that bravely ventured out to give me a very special surprise The small fish in the pic is a leopard danio fry. There's heaps of them in the tank with the L226s.

flatfish Posted August 1, 2007 Report Share Posted August 1, 2007 Congratulations Faran. That's awesome news. You might want to trade some babies with mister pleco to get some unrelated young together for the future. Any idea what the trigger was?

Faran Posted August 1, 2007 Report Share Posted August 1, 2007 They started spawning after the cold water triggers and starvation periods i started doing months ago. they've been keen since and constantly trying but the main difference this time was the use of a rock to elevate the mouth of the cave and prevent eggs from accidentally being "kicked out" which seems to have done the trick. There's a few heads poking around in there with dad but i haven't seen any others out of the cave yet. Swapping fry sounds like an excellent idea. Great suggestion.
