Early Monday morning I found the male on eggs! Picture is from today, 24 hours after the first discovery



Needles to say, I'm extremely happy about this


To be continued..... -> at the 5th Lnumber Days in Hannover 27, 28 and 29 of October 2017

Congratulations! Hopefully fry soon

Congratulations Jac!
I hope it turns out well and you can tell us all about it at a future CSG convention

Awesome sauce!

Cheers, Eric

Thank you all

This needs an update
It's been a year of trail and error but finally I cracked the code and I have some fry in my fish house
Meet the worlds first documented Parancistrus nudiventris fry:

The male trapping


Some of the eggs got kicked out of the cave


But I managed to hatch them which is not an easy task. The eggs are extremely fragile.


The fry at two weeks old and doing very well

What a nice update! I recently put a P. nudiventris in my tank. Would you have some advices for me? Could you tell us more about your experience with this species?

Wish you luck! Congratulations.

Awesome work and great pics. Congratulations

They are an awesome species. Not aggressive or territorial in my experience. They are quite shy, in my tank they always hide during the day. They also don't come out for food at night either, but maybe this could be different in a community tank with other fish. As for diet they don't do well on carnivores foods so I would suggest to limit the amount of frozen/fresh foods as much as you can and give them lots of herbivore foods. I feed them Repashy herbivore and insectivore formulas.
Keep your water clean and give lot's of oxygen, adding extra air stones would be a good idea with this species. If you do well and get them settled in they might even change colour for you

As I said before, well done Jac. You have magic tanks.

More and more I prefer to add extra airstones to tanks.

I use extra air stones in almost all my single tanks. But not in my breeding system. It has an open filter with lot's of water movement and air exchange. Works perfect

The latest batch of nudiventris fry

They are so cute at that size! Congratulations!

Cheers, Eric
