Hypancistrus sp ,,Monte Dourado'' L411 spawning

Post by rroomm11 »

Yes, it finally hapens.
I got 2 of this fish from germany about 5-6 years ago but they happens to be both males... .
Then I went to Finland ( Helsingin Akvaariokeskus)about 3 years ago and they have lonely sub-adult female.
First time they spawned straithly about year later, but all spawn was eaten by male.
After then nothing happens.
Today I discovered about 20 juveniles in their aquarium and they are already about 10-15mm.
So sometimes you have just luky doing nothing special to spawn and this just happens.

Got seconds spawn. And again, I dont noticed when and where that happens. They are very secretive spawners. I just discovered fry in yesterday evening.

Congrats. My 400s are the same way. I don't do anything to trigger them, just let them go. Again, congrats and good luck.
