Re: L191 Max Age. ?
Nothing like 50cm, maybe 25cm, my dull eyed royals have never gotten as big as my standard royals, same basic body shape but about half the size at same age.

L191 Max Age. ?
Hi all. Have lost 2 of my full grown L191 Panaques (Dull eyed Royal) in last few months with no obvious cause or reason behind it. I'm not exactly sure of their age but between 9 and 11 years, so I'm wondering if it was just old age. Has anyone any experience of what a reasonable captive life span ...

Re: How to discourage fish from breeding?
Sometimes removing the spawning cave will stop them spawning, or at least slow them down till they find an alternative spot.

Re: What is everyone feeding their Panaques??
Be sparing with commercial salmon food its packed full of fish protein. But they do love the pellets, at least mine do, guaranteed to bring every plec out for a look even in middle of day.

Re: Breeding caves for regular ancistrus
I use lengths of bamboo bought from local garden store, just cut it above each knot and you have a perfect cave. Takes a while to get waterlogged and sink but once it does bn move right in.

to TwoTankAmin Whilst I certainly understand and on 1 level agree with your comments regarding limited funds and their best use, my initial gut reaction is knowledge is power... any knowledge or information gained is better than not having it, and maybe with the looming demise of this river system ...
