Breeding pair albino ancistrus - Cambridge

I have a genuine proven breeding pair of Albino Ancistrus (Bristlenose) for sale (true, pink eyes, not L144). These are not a randomly selected semi adult pair from a mixed tank. These are a proven breeding pair, kept in their own tank. I am only selling as I don't have the tank space for all the yo...

Re: For Sale x7 L134/x3 Sterbai Cory

No worries, thanks for confirming. Let me know if you change your mind. I've got a 4' with a breeding group of sterbai in, would be a perfect match :)

Thanks

Re: For Sale x7 L134/x3 Sterbai Cory

Hi Matt,

Are these still for sale, or does your post read that you're now keeping them all?

Thanks

Re: Cordyoras hastatus spawning success VIDEO

And here is a short video shot on my phone this evening of them continuing to spawn: cEaMxFA5gtw Watch the pair at the top right of the group adopt T-position, male swims off, female then lays single egg in her pelvic fins at 15-16s (watch closely you can see her lay it). She then goes off to clean ...

Re: Cordyoras hastatus spawning success

Thanks for the quick reply. I'll leave the cherry shrimps in there then, and see how they get on. The shrimps do seem to be predominantly vegi, even when I feed the adults frozen cyclops/brine, they don't eat it (though do eat flake food, pellet food, cucumber, all the algae). The pH in my breeding ...

Cordyoras hastatus spawning success VIDEO

Well I finally found some C. hastatus a few months ago. I bought 9, and at least 7 are still going strong. I set them up in an 18"x10"x10", with a small breeding group of ~ 8 cherry shrimp, and a couple of 1cm ancistrus fry. Set up is quite well lit, with sand substrate, a couple of m...

Re: C. habrosus / hastatus wanted (near Gatwick)

What are the odds. Maidenhead Aquatics at Crawley has C. hastatus in. I have just bought 10, but they have about 10 left.

Would rather one of the forum picks them up to breed than the rest sell off in 2s and 3s.

Best

Help - L066 and Ancistrus deaths

Hi, I have a mixed 4' tank that did contain 3 x adult L066, a breeding group of 4 x ancistrus (3f 1m), 2 x whiptails (sp. unknown, about 4-5" long), 1 x Pelvicachromis subocellatus and about 10 endler's livebearers. Last week I purchased 4 x corydoras sterbae (sterbai) from the same dealer I ha...
