Thanks for the help.

Got this pleco when it was 2in...is it a L79?






Thanks

Sad to hear that the fries didn't make it.
Apparently L25 seems more difficult to handle than the other pseuda (L600, L114 & L160).
Only about 10% survived for my last L25 spawn, dreaded the death count each day and now this pair is no longer in the mood to do it again

Thank you so much for replying Jim...you mentioned water stability...I must have messed it up with the many water changes because I only had water quality in mind...I had been doing a lot of water changes which had likely lead to too much fluctuation of pH and temperature. Indeed, these fries are ...

sometime ago i posted about my observation that two male L25 were competing for a cave with a female inside...the larger, more dominant managed to secure the cave and spawning happened... it's been many months after spawning...i harvested the fries...but realised that these fries are dying day in ...

need some advice...I have a pair of pseuda in a cave for 3 days already...all along a third pc was always parking outside this same cave but today, which is the 3rd day, this pc is trying very hard to get in!! question is...should i remove this third pc? the pair in the cave seems to have been ...

My tank is only 200 gallons, which is why I am reluctant to add the other 2 females.

Probably I will need to go around looking for a smaller male.

Thanks Cristoffer.

In fact I have another two possible females, one is 12in another would be smaller at 10in. Would adding these two gals help ease the aggression from the male?

In fact, the male would hide in it's cave; but it whenever it's out of the cave, it would started going after the others .

thks

Thanks for replying.

Currently hoping that they would really pair up. The male is very aggressive and it will just keep chasing the female!

Wonder if the size of the male is too large at 15in, compared with female of 12in?

Thanks

Hi, do u have pictures showing these L25s 'vent' or papilla?
thanks

the most aggressive encounter was from a 10in goldline...it whacked the h#ll out of my 14in L24....followed by further attack from a L63 (the pc feature Cat-elog, before I sold it)...the L63 bit the underbelly of the wounded L24 causing fatal injuries....the L24 was dead after a day :(( I eventually ...

like to tag along this thread since it is on the topic of whiskers....

some 6 mths ago, i bought a cephalosilurus apurensis with a missing whisker that is on the side of its mouth. after so many months, the whisker is still not growing back why is this so? will it actually grow back out?

thanks

the first pic has very protruding or rather prominent papilla which led us believing they are of different gender.

wow! sexing these guys are difficult

Well.... I cant say anything looking at the head, but the pectoral fins has a lot of odontodes. As I undertand from talking to ElTofi, females don't have this kind of odontodal grow. But I would say male... but I'm suprised that the head is so small... Cristoffer thanks Cristoffer, more or less i ...

Hi It would help with photos from above, but I think this is a male. There are people (ElTofi) here that knows more about this species than I do, but I don't think that females as that kind of odontal grow. Cristoffer managed to snap a few pic from top, quality too very fantastic though http://img3 ...

Have you seen differences in the dorsal fin in L25?

In L114 males has a much more bigger dorsal "sail" than the female.

Cristoffer

indeed the gender of L25 is rather difficult to differentiate...unlike L97, L114 and even spinosus...whereby the finnages does look different.

without being the specialist Cristoffer says, I would say it's a L25, with a very pale color, due IMO to the blue bottom of the tank... I agree with Cristoffer on the explanations about gender from the body shape. Moreover, and based only on my experiences (don't ever think it's a general rule, but ...

Isnt it a Pseudacanthicus spinosus? Isnt it a Pseudacanthicus spinosus? Looks like it. cant see any pics of the tail so cant be sure, although the eye does look a little L25ish ever got this comment that its a spinosus before, but this pc was labeled L25 the tail pic can be seen in the second post ...
