Faran Posted June 20, 2006 Report Share Posted June 20, 2006 fishboi - when ancistrus breed there's usually one dominant male that all the ladies go to and the other males get no play. smcoleman - congrats, bud. I recently lost my breeding colony so I'll be hitting you up for some in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishboi Posted June 20, 2006 Report Share Posted June 20, 2006 yeah i figured that after i asked the question :oops: what filters are u running as i know they like a strong current and very clean water or are they so captive bred now current is not a big issue would like to know about ur set up too blue.

Faran Posted June 20, 2006 Report Share Posted June 20, 2006 My setup was a VERY heavily planted 225L tank (100cm x 50cm x 45cm). Breeding happened in upside down flower pots on each end of the tank. Colony consisted of two males - one smaller than the other - and some females. Filtration was via external canister filter with a sponge over the intake strainer.
