Looks like a day to two before they start eating or are they already doing that?
Seems like most baby Hypancistrus have the cute black beady little eyes!

Nice, healthy and beautiful juveniles...rock on man!

**weiquan** · 1st Aug 2008, 19:19

they already have been fed for a few days. I have been feeding one canivoras pellets once a day. so far so good. all still active and alive, a few have a bit of a sunken tummy but majority of them has fat bellys.

They are actually quite playful, hiding and swiming around the small drift wood i provide for cover.

cheers.

Congrats! Looks like the egg sacks are gone. Did you get a chance to measure the fries yet?

**weiquan** · 17th Aug 2008, 11:52

i think they are a bit smaller than an inch now, eating very well with carnivorous pellets. thanks for the concern dudes.

How are the baby L400s? I suppose they have not started to display the L400 patterns and colouration? How many weeks have it been? 5?

**weiquan** · 31st Aug 2008, 15:14

Cheers.
