Hypancistrus sp. "L 454" breed

[L-ko]

Hi,

little surprise on Monday morning - Hypancistrus sp. "L 454":

This Hypancistrus falls a bit out of line, because they come from the Rio Atabapo. Thus, it is currently the only known Hypancistrus from black water.

We made for Hypancistrus typical regular water changes (1x per week about 40%) with tap water, unt had a temperature of 28 ° C.
The parents we have received about 13 months.
These will now be about 20 months old.

Greetings
Elko

I think there has been a misread of brackish rather than black water.

Well done on the spawn, do you have pictures of the parents?
