Hypancistrus L262?

Post by KrisA »

I just got some adult L262, 2 males and 3 females :-BD
They are about 8-10 cm.

Anyone who have bred them, and wan't to share some tips?
How much food can 5 L262, eat on a night?
I have frozen food, JBL Novotab and different sticks.
How many blocks of bloodworms could they eat, just so i can compare it with the ohter foods i got?

I will read it now, thank you.

I just fed them some bloodworm sticks, and they are eating well, just got them 6 hours ago, so thats great.

I feed them Ken's Brine shrimp sticks, earthworm sticks, NLS thera A & Growth formula. Feeding is as much as they can eat in 5 minutes. They breed easily for me without doing anything to the water. Temp is 82 F. Provide lots of caves. Good luck :).
