So the males actually grow out of this?

I know that the males chew on the females sometimes when they're breeding but at what point do you take her out of the tank to heal? I've never seen this female in a cave yet so I'm assuming she only has short visits during the night. Both flanks are greyish white and her tail is chewed off in the ...

Thank you.

I've read several posts where the females have a yellow belly, how accurate do you think it is? Similar to the white belly on the L260?

Its helps to compare the head profile against body and fins.

The photobucket link below each pic is the same fish but from above. Would a group shot help?

If you check the cat-elog at the top of the page, look under "L numbers". The two species are listed with pictures. Photo bucket is easy to use for posting pictures, they even have an app!!

I just got these today. There's 3 fish, 2 pics of each fish. Sorry I couldn't shrink the second pic of each so I posted the photobucket link.

Pic#3 is aprox 18cm tl and 1 + 2 are aprox 16cm tl

Thanks for looking

I'm new to plecos, so I was just trying to get a second opinion. I've spent hours looking at pictures online and reading about them (L260) but have never seen one in real life. My first thought was that I had three pairs and I wanted to verify that. The cheek Odontodes took me by surprise, I thought ...

Thanks, maybe i'll take some more pics in a couple months and see if there's any differences then.( and maybe find a better camera)

The first and second post are two separate sets of three.

The first one looks like 1m-2f to me and the second set looks like 2m-1f to me.

These are the other 3 I bought, the last two pics are of the same two fish.
Thank you once again.

The smaller fish are 8.5 cm and the two big ones are 9.5 - 10 cm

Just bought this group and am very excited to try and get them to breed for me, but would like to know the ratio.

These pictures are of the three fish in the first pic
Thank you in advance for the replies.

Thanks for the welcome

Hi,
I am mostly a african cichlid kind of guy (Love my Frontosa) but I also have a group of 10 lucipinnis. I am very interested in learning some breeding techniques for them. One of my favorite things about fishkeeping is the raising of the fry, I just love watching the different stages of their ...
