success

[MICKSNOWDOG]

i am very new to this but i already have 27 tanks lol.
yep jumped in head first.
i have had some losses due to lack of knowledge and inexperience but recently have had a lot of success in the last two weeks, (i've only been at it about 6 weeks).
my albino's have bred 3 times, one we lost but the last two are all good, one lot of eggs were kicked out and we bodgied up an egg tumbler and remarably they hatched about a week later. we have over 80 young.
also i have heaps of orange spots, they bred once, but a very large pair, doing well. (what is an orange spot? l number etc?)
my peppermints just bred, i reckon about 80 in this brood, wow, stoked!!!

Congratulations on the Peppermints :woohoo:

I have heard of Ancistrus leucostictus being called the Orange spot Bristlenose but I have heard of it being used for others. I'm sure if you post a picture in the I.D. section you will find out.

mate i dont know, i did a big water change and dropped the temperature some, i dont have any specifics at all.

i'll try for some photos, they look near exactly like peps but they are not so black and have like orangey motley lines thru them. the male is a superb specimen, his colouration is unreal, there are quite a few in the tank but the dominant one really stands out. i'll get some pics.

i found this online

one more example of how the names can be confusing, consider this Bristlenose, known in Australia as the “Orange Spot Bristlenose”. Some enthusiasts believe it to have the L number of L 110 which is commonly known as the Red Spot Bristlenose others refer to it as the species Ancistrus sp leucostictus, both of which appear unlikely. To the best of my research though, the most likely name is Ancistrus sp. `Rio Ucayali`.

total respects to your horny bn's then.... they must just like it cold and easy!! lol. Cheers anyway... cant wait to see your little ones!

I think the L182 sometimes get called orange spot in Australia and they are like Peps.

There is a profile and image HERE to compare with..

I would have used the plecoplanet profile but there isn't one.
