I like this tank.

it looks like a simple tank with simple fish, but the photo's show very healthy filled out fish, so they obviously have a great live

it's been a while since I've seen paleatus looking that good

job well done! :wink:

I like your tanks too Arjenk- just because fish have been in the hobby a long time doesn't mean they're any less impressive than the newest imports if kept correctly... seeing your photos of C. paleatus reminds me just how good these can look.

the Ancistrus female is getting fat

you might think about getting a male and breed them

Ancistrus are fun fish to breed (a male with fry looks incredibly cool) and Ancistrus fry is always in demand

it's one of the few fishes you always can sell at any time of the year.
all tanks need good algae eaters and Ancistrus of this particular species do fine in any tank; be it Malawi, Central American, Discus, African, South American, Tanganyikan, Community, Grow out Tanks, you name it.
