what size are the L114 and how many do you have?

I currently have a reverse trio (2m 1f) in a 36x24x12 inch tank with canister filter powerhead, bog wood and caves. despite having things set up like others spawning these show no interest. would moving a pair of fish to fish to a smallr tank or removing a spare male help?

Also taking notes!! Only got a small one at the mo bit there on my list. also got 240's on it so i will defo bend your ear when i get goin, refurbishing my setup at the mo to add a couple more big tanks. cant have too many of these fish in the world

thought so, seems i have 2 males, thanks for confirming.

Im assuming that females wont develope any anterior bristles as i have 2 fish bought a couple of months ago and both about 3", one was quick to spike up heavily around the tail and anterior regeion, the second fish i thought was female has now started to show signs of spikes on the top ray of its ...

coming along nicely, what are they feeding on now?

it is an all glass tank which sat on a base made from concrete blocks, the was a 80cm gap between these pillars, the tank then sat on 25mm poly and 10/12mm ply. The tanki think should have been built on thicker ply and poly and should also have been a double glass base. If i could repair the tank in ...

recently i suffered a burst 8x3x2' tank which split its base due to poor instalation. The tank was built onsite so there is no option to remove or repair the tank in situ. I am now looking at striping the tank down and rebuilding a concrete block tank with a glass viewing pane using the existing ...

Id also be wary of outcompeteing fry as many cats wont compete, L134 i found wont challenge corys for food, i had mine with sterbia when young and they easily pushed them into hiding

ideal will give it a try lol

welcome fellow site newbie!!

never tried it, is it expensive and does it have a hish salt content if its SEAweed?

Not really specific species but was curious to see what the thoughts were on smaller males trapping and or breeding with larger females, i appreciate that some sp. females may be larger naturally but am thinking more young adults where there could be as much as a couple inches of difference.

I'm not a fan of any snail in tanks but its a part of keeping fish i suppose, i have nerite assasins and pests but tend to remove what i can if fish are breeding regardless of parental care or not. i do like snails in grow on tanks where they munch left over crap that i cant remove if working etc ...

love the fridge idea, defo the way forward!!

nice to see the fry pics, hoping my 201's go soon, have notice a fair bit of agro over what i recons the best cave with one males back end being munched a fair bit and a new boss taking over the cave.

i keep some diff types of characins, tetras etc but not fussed on breeding them it was more for some activity in the tank, the additional flow i think could be a prob for some fish therefore limiting spawning success.

very nice, one of my fav characins, are you going to try and breed them?

stunning tank with a very nice selection of fish, did i see P.weitzman in there also?

All i can say is they are lovely in the flesh!! I find the L no id debate a difficult one as until scientifically described lots of stuff gets lumped and Sold under one No when it can be completly different fish. Any way they are STUNNING and well done.

very nice looking fish, close ups of the genitil papilla may assist or ventral pics showing fin shapes etc, im sure once settled they will let you know!!

some nice rays you have also, expensive feeding them plecs tho!!
