Here's a start...

Chuck another male in for a bit of competition,
Shade the entrance to the caves with some drift wood
Let the water get dirty for 2 weeks (No WC). (You're too warm. Drop to 80°F (27°C)
Feed lots (Protein)
Then do a 30% WC (During a storm if possible)
Lights off and no feed for 5 ...

Totally agree mate.
Just trying to save a precious resource which is about to just disappear into thin air, and these people are worried about their name being stamped on a moonlight set-up for a fish tank which any average person can make with a dob of silicone and a switch!!!. :screwy ...

Thanks Apisto,

That info is great, I'll look into those corys and move the SAE when it gets a little bigger.

Have your L134's spawned with so many tank mates? I assume they wouldn't.

Any chance of seeing a photo of your tank with the L134's out & about?

I do use those clear ...

Hi Apisto,


Is there any possibility for you to offer them any live blackworms? Are there any other fish like some tetras as dither fish? Sometimes they take cues from other fish about how safe it is to come out.

I've tried the live blackworms (also frozen), but I don't know how to keep them ...

Hi, sorry for the sloooow response to your help.

The L134's are still pretty shy, but I have seen them twice now at about midnight or later. Here's some more info...

What temperature is your tank?
How do you know they haven't fed?
What are your water parameters?
Could you post a photo of the ...

Hi PP,

I've been watching this thread. Did you get the L134's to spawn.

Yes or no, can you fill us in on any of the different methods you have tried.

thanks

I wouldn't worry. Mine still hide just as much as a hypancistrus. Try feeding some bloodworms. They don't really appreciate algae based wafers too much.

I wonder why some just hide, yet other reports have very outgoing, even rough, L134's.

I have no substrate which reveals the white poly foam on ...

I'm jumping in late here... but this is just a quick bump to find out how you people are going with your L134 projects.

I have been struggling with this conductivity Vs TDS issue and research finally concluded that it was OK for us Aquariusts to use a 2:1 ratio. It's great to see this conformed in ...

Hi,

I also posted this at PF so some of you may have read this twice today, but I'm getting a bit desperate with my L134 situation....

I purchased a numbere of L134's over a week ago. I have made some other posts at PF about them but now I feel I really need some help.

I havn't observed them ...
