Hi Everybody,

In my 1m tank I keep at this moment 6 Corydoras aeneus and two Otocinclus sp. (left over of a group). Recently I noticed two little fry in this tank, and was assumed that it is Corydoras aeneus fry. But After looking today it looks like it could be a Otocinclus fry. This because the fry looks like it has a suckermouth. Hopefully you guys can tell me what it is. Yesterday I added approx 20 Sturisoma fry to this tank, but they are still in a breeders net.

Definately an Oto fry. Have a pic of the parents?

This is a pictures of the Otocinclus sp. that I have.

I agree...otocinclus fry; great job !!

Congratulations. The fish is a loricarid - and thus Otocinclus.

You must be doing something right

Today I still spotted the Otocinclus fry.


And I also spotted about 12 Sturisoma fry. Here's a picture of one of the 12.

Pretty cool.
I had one Parotocinclus spilosoma fry appear once but I never could deliberately breed them.
I have raised hundreds of Sturisoma aureum but I never tire of seeing their new fry.
My camera can't take such clear photos of the fry. Your photos are very good.

Thanks.

Here's a new picture of the Otocinclus fry and a short movie of the Otocinclus fry.

Congratulations on your baby ottos! i hope to get otocinclus fry too, some day!
your tank is well planted. it should be a good environment for the fry to grow.

Thanks. I also hope to have more fry in the future. I'm also thinking about a try with the Otocinclus vittatus in a tank outdoor, maybe this summer.

I also keep Sturisoma fry in this tank, and made a short movie of the fry.

Hi, how did you breed them?

The Otocinclus or Sturisoma?

In the same tank as were the Otocinclus are swimming, there are also 6 Corydoras aeneus swimming. I was starting with water changes with cooler water, so that the Corydoras aeneus would spawn. But instead of the Corydoras the Otocinclus were starting spawning.
