welcome

i think that female is ok
they follow each other around the tank and the stay together all the time is a good sign?

for me a bn will be possible
with a omnivor species will be more easy but if you just keep attention about him and food, why not...

thanks i really hope,i never had some bottom fish fry

hi i just bougt today one adult ancistrus sp.3 female for my old and lonely male :wink: ,but the female is bit different with the color( the male have more light spot but with the same shap)and i'm worry for the spawning,in this situation is possible the spawning?or the have to be exactly the same ...

look like like you said but i'm not sure 100% we need to wait the other

i think you need to wait ..
maybe female
the differente for the nose and body the come when the are adult...but i'm not sure 100% a witch age..maybe become now..aniway the male have longer head region and male have odontes on the posterior

the temperature can be more important for the snails,usualy the medium temperature for them is 18-26 for sub-tropical kind but for the most tipical snail that we can find(tropical)the temperature have to be around 24 grades because can change the life sistem(example.18-20 grades around 4 years if ...

can be different water parameter,the are different?you filter also in the small one?

can be a white variety of the tale of is bit longer than yours but tha are very very similar both of them and i don't bet

i forget...
you have real plant or no?
for how many hours you live the ligt torn on in the day?

Alright, I have a slime problem. Its not going away. I do water changes daily(15-50%, as needed). The slime is a redish rust color. It comes out of my filter in clumps. I've taken the fiter and media out, cleaned and boiled all parts. I took out the slimeist of my driftwood and boiled it and let it ...

don't look the color but only the shape,in my book i have this kind grey like your,is not in cat-elog

i still think that is hibrid from a.sp.rio ucayali like said before or maybe is a variation of l392 or l122(grey variety)but the are not on cat-elog and i have see on my book for l-number,but i repeat maybe...
and if is it a chaetostoma sp.?the nose is very similar....

matsp maybe can be a variation of these and hibrid?
the are the closest one i think...

i think is difficult to know....
i had 2 and they have live for almost 1 year and one day they start to die in one week without sintom
maybe the are very sensible to one small incontrollable-variation of water...

i have ask to the seller where they come from,but he don't know....
maybe can be the color, shape and spots etc etc are very close and similar specialy in the second picture,what you think?

welcome

hi!!! for spotted raphael what you mean? p.costatus or agamixis?because i had both( i still have the agamixis) and the p.costatus he has eaten one copples of pangio kulhii,with agamixis no problem at all.
