Re: any tips for aspidoras spilotus?

they spawned 2 times before and did not bother the eggs! only the last 2 spawns did they eat the eggs.but i have not seen eggs for the last 3 weeks now. either not spawning, or eating them fast. i have another tank cycled, thinking of moving half into it.

Re: For Sale : RARE Aspidoras Albater F3 ( ONLY in USA ) !!

my aspidoras albater put most of their eggs in java moss and on the glass. the filter doesn't seem to appeal to them. they are spawning like crazy!!! see more eggs every 7-10 days. started with ten, now have around 60!! have sold and given some away as well. :D
