I had thought it was that before and I only shine a flashlight in there when I am expecting them to hatch and that is only for a few seconds. I never go in and actually disrupt them by moving the cave and looking into it. I doubt if the flashlight bothers him enough to eat them. Plus the time before ...

So Janne mentioned never seeing a male eating eggs or fry. Well last night I removed the filter, the two rocks & the ceramic tube and there was only sand in the tank. No fry and only the pair of fish. If they didn't eat them, then what happened to them? There were about 20 alive the night before and ...

I will try waiting until then and move them to a container I will have hanging in the tank.
Thanks for the advice!

They keep laying about 50 eggs and when they hatch I end up with zero fry. I tried removing the eggs but they fungus up and I ended up with 5 fry. I add drops for non-fungus (can't remember what it was called) and still fungused up with and airstone too! This time I left the eggs with them and when ...

I just saw them on a wholesalers list and he had them down as Chameleon Black & White Loricaria/ Spatuloricaria sp..

That's them; Pseudohemiodon apithanos!

I just got back from collecting in Peru and I am having them shipped back next week. The exporter said that this was what they were called there but he didn't know the scientific name. The males and females were totally different. He told me the whiter ones were the males and the black ones were the ...

Thanks!

I went into my profile but I could not change it. Do I have to delete my whole profile then recreate another one?

I have a 90 tank with 3" Blackbelts, 3"hericthys, and 3.5" Nicaraguense. I also have a 90 with geo. steindachneri, cutteri, firemouths, etc... I picked this up at a club auction for 5 bucks and it is 6-7" long. I thought that was an excellent price that I could not pass on. Anyone know what one that ...

I removed the flower pot and found 8 ancistrus fry stuck to the side of the pot. So far it looks like 4 are alive and 4 either didn't hatch or are dead. The 4 keep swimming side to side sticking to the walls of the small tub I have them in.
Will they survive?

I was moving fish from my 90 to setup for Tropheus I will be getting on Saturday. I noticed that one of the ancistrus was inside an upside down flower pot and thought it would be easy to remove her by scooping the whole pot up. As I did this and was bringing it up in the water I thought I saw ...
