firenzenz Posted May 28, 2008 Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 Laid eggs last week. First attempt so not a big spawn. I would say perhaps 10-15 wrigglers , so all good at this stage. Didn't even need catbrats cave! This shot of one of the Adults. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

babyfish Posted May 28, 2008 Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 spawned in ChCh? by who and when? would love to see some documentation/ or even something to say that this person even had these fish to back their claim up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiden Posted May 28, 2008 Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 Im not a pleco fiend but does it really matter I mean seriously......cant we just say it was a shame that no fry came of it and move on.... Great news Fire....but since there is no pictures of eggs/wrigglers im guessing no one believes you :lol: :bounce: :bounce: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great news Fire....but since there is no pictures of eggs/wrigglers im guessing no one believes you :lol: :bounce: :bounce: Well put Tiden. I agree that at this stage it's an unsustaintiated report and should in all honesty remain so until I get some further shots. I'm trying not to upset new Dad too much just yet but will get some pics soon. While the breeding itself is probably more important than who did it or who was first I cant agree that documentation isn't important. Without it stories of past spawns, fry, babies etc are just that-stories. No sour grapes, no throwing toys, but opinions of worth are based on facts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tropheus Posted May 29, 2008 Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 Agree. I dont document anything if my fish spawn. Just good to see beut plecs like that can be spawned. Q? Is the common name for these guys called 'snow flake'? Wouldnt want to get it wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A-town... Posted May 29, 2008 Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 wow vey nice congrats :bounce: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firenzenz Posted May 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 Snowflake is LDA 33 -a barancistrus species like gold nugget. Snowball is L102 -a hypancistrus species that gets big like king tigers. There were some around 2-3yrs ago so hopefully some still around. The 136 are smaller hypancistrus like L046.

Tropheus Posted May 29, 2008 Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 oh oops :lol: These guys are black with realy small white pin size spots. Pretty nice and dont grow to big Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firenzenz Posted June 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 Update- the babies are almost finished their larval stage and becoming fry. They look to be about 7mm so hopefully will exit the cave in the next week. Red circle shows a couple of the young, and yellow square is of another female( different from first Mum), who is hanging around outside.
