Hi!!

Cheers
Yann

Yann, you are as always right:)
My Ancistini L127 are a definite pair.

They spawned last week when I was out of home on my vacation and yesterday I got out of cave more than 20 fries.

Congrats! Those look awefully familiar to mine

I wish I still had my pair, but I have been moving around too much and sold most of my fish due to that.

I wish you continuous luck!

nvcichlids, bigbird, racoll Thanks:)

nvcichlids, I remember your L127 breeding thread. It was quite interesting. I noticed that this species doesn't belong to often breed list, In-spite that it isn't hard to breed. I hope your pair is still in your tank and it is OK:)

They are not, I gave them to a friend within my local fish club to try to keep and breed. He had a 125 gallon and they were the only bottom dwellers in the tank so they had plenty of territory.

good job!
how long was breeding setup process, spawned fish was mature or grown under your control?

AleGer · Post by **AleGer** » 15 Jul 2011, 12:07

kouen, thanks. I purchased my Ancistrini sp. L127 in August 2008 in size 4 cm. So it passed almost 3 years. And I noticed that they were matured an year ago, but spawned when I moved them from 100 l. into 270 l. tank.

Thanks! I see now, it was very long way...

Owner may die 10 times, fish 1000

I have a similar experience, but I got mine at approx. 7cm. So they were already adults, but it took them a year to get adapted and then it was like clockwork.

I love your pictures!
