Short update, away from the fish & new links
















This has been awhile, the main reason is that I am currently away from my fish and don't really know what is going on, apart from that they are doing well.

The only fish close to me now are my precious Ancistrus sp., plenty of tetras and a two pairs of Angelfish. Both the Angels and the Ancistrus are spawning but in a community setup I fear that  that very few fry will survive.

I have also added two new links to the site, these are two excellent sites that I have used many times for information so I highly recommend having a look!

Aquafarmen - very interesting Norwegian breeding projects


wildguppies.com - anything you need to know about wild guppies

Ancistrus sp. first spawn

I have had these fish since they were juveniles, for a good few years now and was lucky enough to get one male and two females.

I am delighted that they now have spawned and am looking forward to the little ones hatching, the male has so far been an excellent first time dad:)





















The fish has been kept in pH7.5 and dH of around 3, there was no trigger noticed.


The fry will be left to fend for themselves in this community tank, I will keep you posted on their development.
