Update: As expected, all of them died. Let's wait for the next chance...

Hi Here's a new pic. Unfortunately, it doesn't look good at the moment. I already lost 16 of them the last two days. Seems to be a problem with their yolk sack, which doesn't goes smaller, and becomes white at its end. Because i used every day 100 % freshwater, it is not a problem of water quality ...

Thanks Mats!
Update: They are still alive, all of them.

Yes, they are doing very well at the moment. They are still all 52 alive! But have no new pics

Hi gents About the temperatur, in my view the cat-e-log is completely wrong. I woudn't keep these fish at 22!!! The whole summer i did keep them at 26, and there was no breeding activity at all. In the winter, i raise most of my tanks to 29 - 30. You can see how the fish like this raise, and quit it ...

Hi Thanks guys! Here some information: - There are 4 fishes, TL 16-17 cm. 2 male, 2 female. - Tank is 100x40x40. - Swiss-water without any treatment, about 300 microsiemens. Temperature 29 Celsius. - They did already spawn last year in march, but eggs disappeard after 3 days. - By the end of 2012, i ...

Hi Guys

I'd like to share pics of my newest fry with you. Today, seven fishes did hatch, and there are 47 eggs remaining. Hopefully, at least some ones will grow up healthy.

Hi Gents

I agree that 78°F is a NOGO for Golden Nuggets!! 83°F is absolutely the minimum! I keep mine up to 93°F in "rainy season". Otherwise, the digestion will not work properly, and fresh importet fish mostly die. To respond to your question: If they get right conditions, they are not sensitive at all!

Hi Gents

Just a new pic...
Now, the thread-title really makes sense

Hi The term F2 is used correctly, so the parents really are tank bread. But the F1 were not raised by me. They have been bread in Switzerland some years ago. I think most of you already read about it, and maybe even have seen pics of the grand parents of this fish. I am currently working on a ...

Hi

Thank you all!
Yann, it is F2! But he unfortunately is alone. So as i am aware of, he is the only one F2 in the world

Hi Gents

Just want to share a pic with you, showing the most beautiful L177, at least in my eyes, in the world

Hi Gents

Could you please help me to ID these fish.
I bought them as L208, which of course is wrong.
I am guessing about L202?
By the way, it looks like 2 pairs for me.

Thanks a lot!
Regards Fred

Thank you guys! I agree...

Hi
Nice fish! But in my view, there are definitely more male than female.

They are about 10 - 12 cm (TL), and full-grown. Special thing about them is that some (especially males) are nearly black (see first pic). Another detail is that all the fry always have white as "backgroud-color". None of them has a yellow-touch, as often seen on L333's and other Hyps. I also don't ...

Hi gents

Please give a try to ID these Hypancistrus. They were sold as 236 long time ago. Unfortunately that's all information i have. If you need some more specific pictures, tell me...

Thanks!
Fred
