Hi all It's been a while since my last update. L404's are breeding regularly. I got approx 70 small ones in different sizes. Recently decided to sell the whole group of adults so took a photo of my alpha male. Here it is. Very hairy in size in approx 14 cm. Very beautiful fish imo. What do you think ...

hi all. Just thought I'd show some photos of my adults here. 2 males currently on eggs :) Biggest pair deep in the cave so the pictures of the smaller ones here. You can see some juvies on few pictures as they escaped the breeding box. PS Check the olive colour of one of the females. PS2 Pictures ...
