Hi Arctic circle,
Congrats. Hope all goes well.
At the moment my Hypancistrus Inspector male is on the third attempt at trapping the female in a cave. Another male Zebra has also trapped a female.It looks as if this is the Hypancistrus breeding season !!!!!
Regards,
Des.

Just in case... when i was looking in the cave, that only one empty egg was top so i think that the male was eating eggs. Hope that you understand becouse my English is not good
Thats so cool!!! Wink

Congrats AC and I hope all goes well with the eggs/fry.
I'm a bit curious as to what sort of stimulation if any was required for the L66 to spawn.
I have read that L66 fry are particularly susceptible to fluctuating water changes so you might want to keep things nice and stable in the tank.
Well done.
