Re: Ancistrus Sp. Albino monster spawn 253+ eggs

It was not his problem, the eggs just weren't sticky at all. Eggs were all around BB thank, and maybe few were left in the cave. Usually they are hard to separate when you try, but I think it is the female that has a problem. Perhaps she ran out of glue :-\

Re: Ancistrus Sp. Albino monster spawn 253+ eggs

Yup, and the water was so polluted from 150 egg yolks that were smashed in 15 gallon tank.

Saddest thing was that the eggs that survived hatched 12h after the ...

I was cleaning them ...

Re: Ancistrus Sp. Albino monster spawn 253+ eggs

Are you sure they're ancistrus eggs? Are they alone in the tank? Reminds me of the two times our African lungfish went nuts and covered the bottom of her tank with eggs. Was a pain in the aft to suck them all out! They were only creatures in the tank. Two males and one female. The only question is ...

Ancistrus Sp. Albino monster spawn 253+ eggs

Hi, I had strange spawn few days ago, one Ancistrus albino female that was kept for 6-9 months without a male had laid over 253 eggs. I got the number 253 from counting them since, in some strange reason the eggs were all over my bare bottom tank and they weren't glued together in groups as normal ...
