I think it is a male because the head is broader then de belly, and that in combination with the big bristles, i think its a male to me.

I now L255 females has big bristles like L184 females have, but i think the bristles on the above picture are a bit to big.

Hello and thanks. One died and 7 are left and I release them in the tank with the parents, so I can't control their eating behavior because the are small. The were eating spirulina tabs crushed. What they will eat now I don't now, I hope it will go okey and they can stand up them selfs from the ...

There are 8 youngsters, not much but it's a start.

How are yours Jeroen, and the parents?

Goodmorning Jeroen, i found a couple of youngsters in a breeding tube with the dad, i moved the tube in an breeding chamber, later that day there were around 8 or 10 juveniles, not much but maybe some left the tube. I put the father back in the same place and lets hope this continues.

Hi, yes your pictures look like it

Hello Bas, it was a mistake, it was a copy paste from a dutch forum and I forgot to erase the dutch part.

Dutch should be the second language of the world

Can you tell us something about your water, like temperature and ph at the time of breeding? And the water parameters wright now?

And are the fry with the parents?

How many times do you change the water and how much?

good luck getting them bigger, Walter

Hi, you have fry already, good job.

What is your tank size, ph and temperature when they breed?
What size are your L184, and what size is your breeding cave?

Hello Jacob, how are your L184 doing? Are they healthy now?

Greetings, Walter

Small update, some pictures of day 33. They are doing great, these are very hard species, where my L183 nest within one month was dead, with this specimen two dead in a month. They are just about 2 cm, and they have pretty dots already. Day33 http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3775/9464309262_b83e78cf19 ...

I hope i have the time to catch them and take pictures, maybe tomorrow.

I'm 100% sure that the 2 fish that breed are the same, my question is then, what if this issen't a Hoplogenys, what kind of ancistrus I have then????
