FuglyDragon Posted June 9, 2007 Report Share Posted June 9, 2007 Hi to all other pleco fanatics out there. I am compiling a list of all loricariidae cats that have been captive bred in New Zealand. So far I have the following... Bristle Nose Ancistrus Ancistrus sp3. Golden Black Eye L144 Ancistrus sp Golden Ancistrus Ancistrus sp3 - albino Golden/GBA Hybrid Ancistrus sp Hybrid Ancistrus Claro LDA08 Ancistrus claro Ancistrus Punctatus L182 Ancistrus punctatus Snowflake Pleco L059 Ancistrus sp. Crocodile Whiptail Rineloricaria lancelota Red Lizard Whiptail L10a Rineloricaria sp Royal Whiptails Sturmisoma Brown Tiger Whiptails Twig Catfish Farlowella sp. LG6 Loricariinae sp. (1) - Unconfirmed Iquitos Tiger Pleco L226 Panaque changae Clown Pleco L104 Panaque maccus Zebra L046 Hypancistrus zebra Choch Zebra L270 Hypancistrus sp. Survival of fry unconfimed Butterfly Pleco L052 Dekeyseria sp. Anyone bred anything else that I can add to my list ? Has anyone had a spawn from the L260 (Queen Arabesque) that came into the country a couple of years back ? I have heard reports of Ottocinculous being bred here too but can't track down any conformation, has anyone on these forums had a successful otto spawn ? Can anyone confirm that Zebra's were actually spawned in NZ ? The only report I can find dates back to 2000 anyone spawned them since then ? Thanks in advance for your input.

coelacanth Posted June 9, 2007 Report Share Posted June 9, 2007 I've bred Sturisoma, Panaque maccus, Chaetostoma sp (bulldog plecs, but were being sold here as green rubberlip plecs), common whiptails, common bristlenoses, zebra plecs (in about 2002-2003), two species of Otocinclus (don't know the species, one was probably vittatus). Only ones I've got now are the bristlenoses and GBAs (still baby ones) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Posted June 9, 2007 Report Share Posted June 9, 2007 Check the Pet Shop, Taupo, they have bred otos, but when I got back to them, the tank had been sold LS&B to Tropical Blues. Apparently for the plants only. Maybe if you were to check with them, Trp. Bl., they may be able to tell you what happened to the fish. Check with Rob Torrins from the Waikato Aquarium Soc. He had a lot of success with his pl*cos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caserole Posted June 9, 2007 Report Share Posted June 9, 2007 I've breed an unknown sp. of Ancistrus, they most closely resemble Ancistrus triradiatus. They are some what flat on the head compared to the common B/N, have strong patternation no their fins, a dark belly no pattern and segmentation pattern on their skull. They are a bushy nose species that is both sexes have bristles although the female only has them on the leading edge of the snout. The males only develops small odontodes on the tips of their pectoral fins This is a pic of a 5 or 6cm juvenile. http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y187/s ...

Faran Posted June 10, 2007 Report Share Posted June 10, 2007 Outstanding idea. Also be sure and note the actual breeder so people can reference the info (and possibly articles). Just a list is a bit vague... I'll contribute my breeding info when I have some time. email me and I'll help where I can. Good to meet you both, fuglydragon and coelacanth - for the first time? I have a feeling I know coelacanth under a different name, but I may be wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FuglyDragon Posted June 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2007 Thanks all for input so far. Blue, you know me as MikeFish on trademe. If people have written articles or made detailed posts re particular fish i could certainly add the links to my list if they are ok with it. I plan to post the full list to my web site.

caserole Posted June 10, 2007 Report Share Posted June 10, 2007 If he did he would have let us know - to spread the knowledge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adrienne Posted January 25, 2015 Report Share Posted January 25, 2015 The original list is coming up 7 years old. I know of a number of others that have been bred here - the breeders are unlikely to bother to list them though. Others are no longer on this forum.
