Nice tank! Looking forward to see the coming photos

Yes, female for sure. Get a male and start the breeding

Nice fishes! I think it looks like two male and two females. :) There's really no need to have one male and two females for getting them to breed. I have exactly like you, 2+2 in a 54 liter tank and they have given me 3 spawns this summer. Just be sure to have plenty of caves in the tank and lots of...

Yep, that's odontodes. Then you have a trio which Is great I think.

Post some photos of them and it will be MUCH easier to sex them. Photos from above is the best imo.

Wonderful photos! :) But Im not 100 % sure it's a male until I see a photo from above. Male grow lots of odontodes and I dont think it's a visible in those photos. Females are have no odontodes at all and it's very easy to tell them apart. I have 2+2 P.Maccus and they have spawn two times now. A pai...

Nice photos! :) I've also recently breed this species. Today I found a second clutch of eggs, but I think I might have stressed the male to eat the eggs, not sure yet. Do you have any idea how many days it takes for the eggs to hatch? Now the male is back in cave and fanning...I can just hope he tak...

Hi all, Just wanted to say that I have got fry from my L-162's. I was just about to sell away my fishes(two males and two females) when I today saw one fry. After some collecting I found approximately 25 fry. :) The possible father was still in his cave when I had to move him. Maybe he was sitting o...

Thanks for your input Larry. Im into breeding this species and I have now started a new rainperiod. I have 1+2 and the male occupies one cave all the time and one female is just outside. This behaviour started when I began changing water. You talked about a extended rainy season, about 3 months. You...

Nice photos!

#2 and 5 are males.
#1,3 and 4 are females.

My two cents.

Nice photos Tobi and good to see you around here!

This one was tricky.
The head looks like L-147, but the rest looks like P. Maccus. Im confused, but I would say L-147 if I have to say something.

Congrats!

My guees would be L-147.

Upload it there.

Thanks for intresting posts guys!

The size must depends on the size of the fish. My largest L-260 is around 13 cm TL and I dont think could fit in smaller cave.

Nice report and cool photos!

Looks like a P.Maccus male.

I first bought a total of 8 small P. Maccus. Now I have sold three males and now I have probably 2 males and 3 females left.

I heard that they will have breed in small bambu-pipes and the female lay about 15-20 eggs. Like Janne said they need a rainy season for breeding.

Im going to try breeding my P.Maccus. I have 1 male 1 female in one tank and 1 male 2 females in another tank.

I think I will have to get a RO-unit to make things happen.

Matt, your fish is 100 % male.

I would also guess Panaque albomaculatus, but I guess Janne is right.

Sorry, didn't understand that.

20 liter is way too small...

Nice fish. Looks like a P. Maccus female in my eyes.

Here is a photo of one of my males to got you an idea of how they compare.

How large is this fish?

If it's an adult I would say it's a possible female.

Your fish is a Panaque Maccus.(L-162)

Mats, I think your fish could be a female. But Im not 100 % sure. It's easier to tell from a photo above. Here is a photo of one of my males. http://www.zoonen.com/perzoonen/visabild.asp?oid=403083# He was around 5 cm TL when this was taken. You can clearly see the odontodes.Depending on how many in...
