Well done Barbie,
Wow I didn't know that L333 produced such large clutches of eggs, imagine if zebras produced that many eggs too. You are fast becoming a plec farmer
.
Congrats.

Well it appears this first spawn is going to be fertile! You can see their spines and eye balls in the eggs already on day 4.
He's eaten a few of the eggs already. No idea if they were fungused or not. It seems like that's normal for hypancistrus. Too bad figuring out a way to "tumble" the eggs and get them to hatch can be such a pain! And Tristan, the answer is yes, plenty!

Barbie, did you open the back door of the cave when you took those pictures? And if yes, he didn't mind?
I was thinking of doing that now that I have modified the caves with a removable back door, but I've lost too many spawns lately due to my experiments and nosey nature, so I thought I'd ask first this time

Seeya when you get here Sid!
McEve nope, just aimed a flashlight in there with one hand, the camera with the other and wasted 10 shots for every one I got that you could see the eggs 
. If I tried to take the back off he'd throw the eggs out. I had the back fall off one once doing a water change, it's a real pain to get everyone reconfigured without squashing the eggs!
