oh...

i'm not sure i want to try... even if the tank has lots of hiding places and enough territories, if it's to have a dead peckoltia it's not worth the try I think.

Ok, i have 5 breeding cave, included 3 that are too small for an adult ancistrus, i also have 6 bamboo caves i bought especially for the future ancistrus.


Can the fights be lethal ?

i have peckoltia compta L134, and I would want to have a couple of common ancistrus

Hello,

Can ancistrus and peckoltia live in the same tank ? It's for a 360L, and i have 5 peckoltia adults + some youngs of the year.

Thank you !

it's not a pleco tablet, with vegetables, but a tablet for corydoras, so mostly for carni. I mostly offer salad, red pepper, zuchini twice a week or more (i have a rabbit so i always have vegetables in my fridge).

i'll try to take a pic later, my tank is currently off.

Hello,

My female sturisoma laid eggs 2 weeks ago after months without doing it, lacking a mature male since then.
But now i can see she's very thin, she has a very hollow belly.

from this day on I feed her specifically every day with 1 tablet of NovoTab, that she eats with great appetite. But ...

I talked some weeks ago (in august) to a guy who imports fish from Brazil for his online shop : He cannot import L134 anymore.

Hello, how do i do if the fry manage to survive ? XD

I found 2 fries of 1,5week old in my tank... 1,5cm.

Hello, thank you.

I made a comparison with the pictures in the database of planetcatfish, and I didn't recognise my male in any of the species presented. So i'm wrong in some way, or completely.

So following his work, sturisoma aureum and festivum are big sturisomatichthys ?

After all, it doesn ...

Hello, thank you for your answer.

If they breed again, maybe I will try once, juste once, to take care of the babies. I cannot have a lot more fish in my tank, which has already a fair number of fish in it.

I think in these cases that i Will Never be able to breed these 2 ? To avoir, hybridation ?

So disappointed... Sturisoma are m'y favorite fish in my tank...

I'm not.sure 100% but the line of the back is different than sturisomatichtis, which has more "round" lines. He has straight lines and sharp angles. I think is Just a little young. I'll try to contact the seller to ask.

after seeing the pictures of Sturisomatichthys, the male is not one of them. The back is very different than Sturisomatichthys.

if the male was a Sturisomatichthys, the breeding between the 2 wouldn't be possible, would it ?

As I said, the 2 bred successfully.

I'm not sure, but from what I know of the previous owner, I think it comes from a pet store. Not the kind to choose their fish with a lot of care.

The male is a wild one, if I remember correctly.

As the differences are not this obvious, is it possible in this case that the female is an hybrid between aureum and festivum ?

I have to add that the two have bred, and i saw a baby in the tank.

the extensions of the pectoral fins with the female, aren't they something festivum have more than aureum ? and her body is higher than the male who seems more thin.

All that make me think they are not of the same species.

Yes, the box is near an outlet, and there's an air pump to keep the water moving inside. I also put catappa leaves.

The weak baby was dead this morning. The others are normal, they have grown up !

Hello !

I have a female sturi, I thought she was an aureum so I bought a male.

But they are different, so I'm not sure anymore of the species of the 2.

The female is 26cm (~10 inches), 18cm (7 inches) without of the extensions of the caudal fin, and has a long pointy nose
The male is 14cm (5.5 ...

I bought a spawning box. 1 of the babies is very weak, I don't think it will survive the night.

Here is the fry !

Thank you.
I hope so. This morning 6 more babies, 1 dead included, were outside, they are with the 3 of yesterday. I Will buy a guppy hatching box this afternoon.

The father is young (8cm), so is the Mother, i don't think there are à lot of eggs. This Will be a surprise !

the baby in its egg has hatched. I helped it a little. 3 babies alive, i would love to save them... If possible.

and temp 27°C
