any ideas?

Hey community! i have a pseudacanthicus pair and i am not sure about the kind. the male has a length of 30cm and the female of 18cm both are deep black with a lighter black on the head. in the sun light the eyes gleam blue. depending on the water parameters and the day time, other fish the black ...

hey,
seems like something went absoultly wrong.
either the l97 male ate the eggs or the eggs got kicked out and the stingrays ate them.

the female l97 is pretty thin again and no eggs have been found

hopefully the l97 and me get another chance in 3-4 month!

update:

finally after exactly 4 days of being stuck inside the cave the female l97 spawned!
the male is very nervous again and the swimming stingrays in front of the cave dont make the situation better.

hopefully the eggs are fertilized and the male can take care for longer than 4 days this time ^^

Hey planetcatfish! My L97 male trapped the female since a little longer than 3 days in his cave without leaving. is it normal that it takes the l97 so Long to spawn? should i give it more time or is there anything i can do to stimulate them? the last and only time the l97 spawned faster, but the ...

hey,

first i must say that this is a very nice project and good luck on breeding them!
but arent the caves a little too small, especially for the large male?

for me this are two males

hey,

how do you know which male is a dominant one?
i would get 6m4f if you buy a new group.

hey,

of course it is harder to find females, but females dont prefer males for breeding.
but males do, so its always better to keep more males than females.

hey,

if you get 10xl46, i would get 6 males and 4 females.

from the head shape its a male,
well fed pleco!

hey,

ya thats right, but maybe its a head disabililty.

hey,

but the shape of the head from #2 seems like a female one.

hey,

i would say, #1 and #3 are male, #2 should be a female.

i think too that you have 3 females

all males

hey, thanks fpr sexing the l114. futher pictures are not possible cause they are already back in tank. why do you guys think that #4 is a female? to me, #5 seems to be more likely a female than #4 cause of the smaller head. #1 is 100% a male, no doubt. #2 is 100% a gravid female. #3 is the fattest ...

hey community, its now time for my l114 sexing! i cleared my tank today and cought the bigger ones to make pictures of them. the total length from 22-14cm. i start with the biggest ones and come to the end to the smallest l114. i think the most are easy to determine, but there are 1-2 tricky ones, i ...

hey, thank you for you answers, but around 20 percent of all people i asked told me that it is a female L114, other 80 percent said its a male one. The one L114 which is definitive a male has on the bottom a much bigger belly, which you cant see at the other one. i tried to make a picture of the ...

thank you for your fast replies! both L114 are in the same tank there are no bigger aggression between those two fish. i got them from a fish breeder who told me that they had "something" like a egg deposition. but after i got told by other people that both are males im not sure ... fish 2 is ...
