    hi folks went home from work and noticed a wriggler kicked out from cave,

    (pic showing wriggler on the left of cave)


    got them December 2008, and since january they have been showing spawning activity, a pair has been playing "trap the female" more than 10 times, and each time i was kinda disappointed as the next day the female left the cave without eggs, so i somehow stopped being hopeful and kinda left them on their own..... and patience has its reward!

    egg count was 13 ... some hatched liao...

    hope some survive as i recently suffered from plenty of fry loss!

    Re: L260 (Queen Arabesque) bred!!!

    another surprise from my Queens....

    this morning before i left for work, i shine another cave and saw a male is guarding another clutch of eggs, i thought it was another male but after looking hard found that it was the same male but bred with a different female...

    Congratulations on the spawn. Are the Queen arabesque's typically harem spawners?

    How did you end up with that baby L46? Did you manage to spawn zebras? If so, I wouldn't mind hearing about your techniques.

    Re: johannes' Hypancistrus sp. L260 (Queen Arabesque) spawn!!!

    it depends, pleco can be a harem spawners but there are few things to take note, as in the first place there must be more plecos to make up the harem, such as

    enough hiding place, personality of members and whether they wanna do it or not...

    i managed to spawn that L46 and that was the sole survivor of the clutch... haha kinda pathetic at some point..
    basically techniques to spawn hypancistrus is similar across the species..

    Re: johannes' Hypancistrus sp. L260 (Queen Arabesque) spawn!!!

    Then they'll pair as well without too much trouble? It must be the low egg count/viability that drives prices up on them.

    L46 are little different than other hypancistrus to spawn? What causes such a difference in price for them? The fact that you've even got 1 viable is pretty impressive, given how few people actually try to spawn them.

    Re: johannes' Hypancistrus sp. L260 (Queen Arabesque) spawn!!!

    sometimes its the fry raising part that is difficult...

    the price difference between 46 and other hypans is due to many unexplainable factors... i also dont know..
