How the breeding going?
- Thread starter Brengun

I'm awaiting my next Peppermint spawn now. It's been 6 weeks since the last two spawns and I've got 80+ babies growing well eating like pigs too! I did a 50% water change and filter clean yesterday after feeding them for the last three nights before that and four out of five females are hanging around separate caves so I just need the three males to get active cause I'm certain the girls want to lay eggs!!!
As for the Endler guppies in there, those buggers don't stop! I'm at the point where I think there may be toooo many in there at the moment but I'm too lazy to catch all the babies and I'm trying not to disturb the adult pepps.

Breeding is going well. All the Rio Tapajos plecos like L134, L260, L262 are still breeding. Even the Rio Xingu L46 just got another spawn. L174 for some reason is taking a break after having like 5 or 6 spawns in a row. Havent check the L66 or the L201 lately, but there are fry from previous spawns still growing in the tank.
I would assume all Ancistrus breeds like cockroaches all year round maybe with the exception of L82.

How big is your L397 male? I post a few of my videos on youtube.
Here is the link to one of them.

With my Pepps I've dropped my temperature to 24-25c as it seems it was pretty high at about 29-30c so I'm hoping it might get them in the mood again. If they haven't spawned in the next week or so I'll bump it back up to about 28c again and see if that does anything for them. I did however see the dominant male up the other end of the tank in a cave that's usually owned by one of the known breeder females and another male was outside his cave at the other end fanning so I'll leave them alone for a few days and see what happens.
Im jealous of leisure man.
But: my L201 are breeding consistently now - have 26 fry total growing, from multiple small batches because they're young..
every 3 weeks, getting a clutch,
Peppermints of course, is a never ending drama of breeding and work looking after.
And had 2 x L333 spawns

I like my L201s. Here are a few pics of them.

My L128 pairs tank stinks like well...fish. I heard somewhere once that means they are thinking of breeding? Fins crossed.
