Got fry ?

Well yes we do. In fact, 102 of them ! These are L400s. raised and bred by me. I broke down their tank on Sat (mostly to catch a rogue red ancistrus fry I had put in there to grow out and have now sold). I knew I had a bunch, but never dreamed that I had this many. And, to make it even better, one of the males is guarding more eggs in his cave ! The first pic is of all the 400s, and the second is a pic of those that are big enough to sell and ship. Enjoy.

Yep, they are listed in the classifieds. Thanx.

fishorama - yes, they are fairly reclusive, as are all hypancistrus. The fry, however, are not. They are out and about a lot of the time.

Debbi, usually hypancistrus are known for their small spawns. When I was breaking down the tank, a clutch of eggs came out of a cave that a male was still in. I put the eggs back in the cave, and I would guess there were 20 or so eggs, which is nearly double what I would have guessed. However, to have as many fry as I found, they must havehad larger spawns regularly, as there are only 3 females (and 4 males) in the group, and the spawning has been going on for not that long a time period.
