#ancistrus — Public Fediverse posts

I've put several species in the same #aquarium as they haven't been breeding.

so of course, after almost a year now; the albino #ancistrus finally gave us a batch of fry!

but then... the #kribs, which decidedly did not want to breed for a long time now, also decided to hatch the same day... in the same tank.

...and naturally, the #endlers which are there temporarily, also released fry today (nothing for 2 months).

because why not all do it at the same time! not at all a recipe for disaster!🙃

finally! it just took a year! +perfect timing! i'm in the middle of retooling my hobby. getting rid of everything except:

- #angelfish pair (230l tank)
- #kribs pair (54l tank)
- #bettas (6x 43l breeder tanks)
- #guppies (3x 110l tanks)
- #CPD (54l tank)

as well as #ancistrus, #neocaridina and #aquariumplants, to maximize gains per tank. these are all the best to breed for trade- always in demand. good prices. only missing #medaka and #espei. no space tho.

Last week I donated the pond fish (#medaka, #whiteclouds, and #notropis), today I donated the last batch of the tropical microfish (#sundadanio, #tetras) project. All that's left at home now are #guppies, #angelfish, #ancistrus, keyhole #cichlids, #corydoras and the old #kuhli loaches.

i'm not getting more corys or loaches; but they aren't disturbing any fish or eating fry so they get to stay.

will consolidate to just guppies, ancistrus, and #shrimp (neos) going forward. and my rare #plants :)

All fish are great but look at this guy go #aquarium #ancistrus

@Miss_Surreal Aktuell halte ich gar keine #Cichliden mehr. Ich beherrberge seit 12 Jahren nur noch #Scheibensalmler, die sind offensichtlich sehr langlebig, dazu #Signalstreifensalmler, #Panzerwelse und #Ancistrus. Alles in 1 #Rio400.

The #blackout finally ended. 44 hours. Tonight would have been rough compared to yesterday since it's going to be -12°C and I wouldn't be able to pull another all-nighter keeping the fire alive.

The #aquarium tanks have somehow kept warmer than the #fishscrub itself and the last measure (just now) at 13°. I'm happy to announce all #guppies (and #ancistrus) alive; albeit incredibly sluggish. Heating the room at max now so hopefully temperatures will return to sanity by the morrow!

My Ancistrus sp. Calico finally grew to respectable size. I hope they will breed some day soon :)

I really don't get why they aren't more popular. I think they look fantastic (albeit the photo definitely doesn't do them justice. my iphone camera changes too many colors).
