L174 Fry

[Jo Crane]

Are these the slowest growing pleco fry ever :wb:
The pictures show some of my L174 fry these fry are months and months old spawned autumn last year, I have one L46 fry in with them same age the L46 is double the size !!

[Jo Crane]

Chatted to Andrew apparently at a year old they are still tiny!!!

L201/L102 are very slow also mine from last Jan are still under 1"

Cant comment on L174s but when we bought our L400's they were about 1-1.5".... I've had them years and they are still only about 3-3.5"...

Cute tho

Thanks all in comparison to the other hypans I breed these are the slowest I have ever seen but I suppose the fact that the adults full grown are tiny has everything to do with it

Natures law big eat little so Nature has to have more little than big.

very nice! all you can do is feed little and often , and frequent water changes, and wait watch and enjoy.

Cute little buggers.....how big are they? It will be interesting to compair how fast yours have grown to mine...think mine bred around that same time yours did if I remember right.

I only have 3 fry to show after a few spawns, they seem to be so sensitive, and die off after hatching....I left them with the daddy or take them out into fry catcher, results the same.....water parameters similar for L46, Lower xingu sp, L66 and L400, the rest I do not encounter such problems...hiazzz

They seem to be stuck at just under an inch TL they are growing outwards first I think lol

Are you going to be selling thaw when at decent size Jo?

 

[Jo Crane]
