Hypancistrus debilittera, L129, kicked out larva

Our male Hypancistrus debilittera, L129 still has not gotten the hang of raising the little ones. 

I collected six newly born yesterday that had been kicked out from the breeding cave. This can happen with inexperienced or stressed males.
In this case it was the males second spawn and he is still learning, hopefully practice will make perfect.

These little larva have gotten their own net container in the parents tank, an airstone ads oxygen and circulates the water.


The temperature at the time of spawning was 26C and the pH 6, I might write a proper breeding report about this species in the future.
