The study clearly shows that Hypancistrus L066 and 元33 are the same species. Scientists have therefore undertaken research to clarify the matter. Indeed, although very similar visually, there seems to be a difference in the thickness of the black stripes and patterns. Distribute food in the evening on the floor (artemia nauplias or groundfish pellets ground to powder and bathed in mud worm juice).įor Hypancistrus enthusiasts, L066 and 元33 are 2 distinct species. Maintain this tank daily and siphon the waste and make small changes of water with the water in the main aquarium. After nesting, on the 16th day after birth, transfer your fry to an aquarium of about 30 litres just equipped with a filter, an immersion heater and a few hiding places (no floor to make cleaning easier). Then, you will need to provide different bins with increasing volumes to ensure good growth of the small ones. To retrieve the fry, gently lift the tube without disturbing the entire decor. The fry feed on their yolk sac during the first 14 to 16 days of their life.Ħ days after hatching, you can retrieve the fry and put them in a small "nursery" type tank in the water of the main aquarium (make sure that the water circulates well). Watch out for the presence of snails that may attack the eggs. Normally, he will not leave his eggs during the whole incubation period and even after hatching (a few exceptions have been observed). He watches over them, ventilates them, turns them over and covers them with his body. The male will now take care of keeping and caring for the brood (between 10 and 15 eggs). The female leaves the site as soon as the finished eggs are expelled. From the 6th day onwards, gradually increase the temperature to 29/30☌ (84/86☏) and feed more and more live prey. from then on, reduce the amount of food for 5 days. Turn off the immersion heater and let the temperature drop to 22☌/72☏ (room temperature). To simulate the change of season that triggers spawning, proceed as follows:
This type of hiding place will allow the male to guard the brood at the only possible exit. These should be fairly long and narrow, and plugged at one end. For example, use earthenware or PVC pots or tubes. It seems that breeding attempts give better results in the spring. Sexual maturity is reached at the age of 3 years. In a hierarchical group, only the dominant male is allowed to breed. Even if it is still rare, its reproduction is rather easy with a little experience and equipment (a 30 and a 100-litre aquarium / a 6 and a 22 Imp Gal aquarium / a 8 and a 26 US Gal aquarium).
