1 Otocinclus vittatus (left over)

Technic:
1x JBL e900 external filter

1x 150L/h flow pump
1x 300W heater
1x 18W T8 TL bulb

nice set up-- I like a bit natural in addition to the purely functional

Gert,
Very nice setup.
Your L260 look large/old enough to breed to me.
I've had mine spawn as young as 16 months old.
Their fry are very poor competitors. At least that is my estimation.
I always used setups closely resembling yours but I also include pieces of stacked slate separated about 0.5 to 1 cm apart. That provides their fry excellent refuge.

So beautiful...!!!

Wow, that is really nice

Thanks guys!

I will have a look at some more stones that I have from my Hillstream tank.
