There were 3 males Hypancistrus sp. L411 and 3 males Hypancistrus sp. L287.
And due to the big quantity of Hypancistrus species I received Hypancistrus hybrids 09.11.2011.
Here is a thread about this hybrid:

It is not good. And now I'm in a progress of fixing problem of possible hybridization by splitting the Hypancistrus species in separate tanks.
Filtration is one 1200 l\h pomp with a sponge, 100 w heater and two T8 75 cm 25 W lamps.
Firs spawnings were in tap water 500 microsimens and 300 ppm. But not often. After I changed 70% to RO water (140 ppm, and 215 microsimens) they spawned the very next day. The temperature always 30 C. But water changes with 5-10 C.
There I'm going to share daily report of the last spawning.

It is strange but one of the fry was with quite small yolk (on the right). In the result it died the next day when the yolk sucked out, but the fry where still to small.
Does anybody has any ides why such could happen?
