L262 Spawn

Caesars · Post by **Caesars** » Thu Sep 04, 2008 1:50 am

That was our return from holidays present!!! Our young colony of F0 L262 has had their very first spawn. Dad is absolutely fantastic, keeping the youngsters in the cave and only letting them venture in the tank an hour after lights out; he then collects them in just before lights on. Below a photo of one of the fry as it ventures outside the cave for a stroll.

We are over the moon for this addition to the family!!!

Congrats on the spawn!!! Maybe a vacation is the stimulus we all need for our plecs to spawn

coming up soon!!! Next update of mchportal will be the L114 article and the L262s are due in November - that will give them a chance to grow up a bit!!!

Since then we had one more spawn and babies are doing extremely well, though this Hypancistrus is like the zebras, you can't quite see them as often as you would like in the tank.

Splendid news!!! I have a gravid female but I don't have them set up appropriately to breed... though stranger things have happened. Looking forward to some more pics!!
