Day 11

I have nooooooo green spot algae...




Also, I clipped up some zucchini last night, since they seem to like being near the top of the tank.

Hmm. I need to get update pics, lol. They have gotten even bigger. Growth has definitely slowed though. Not surprising though. :)

Alrighty! New pics, and a video. The babies are getting big! Some are pretty close to the 1 in mark. There is actually quite a bit of size discrepancy, which is interesting. They are eating well, and pooping even better. :D

Mama and Papa are both doing well, and Mama is getting fat again...





First I fed them some algae wafers and microworms.





Then I gave them the good stuff; Cooked zucchini!







And a video, so you can truly appreciate the number and wiggliness of these guys.

Are they the same type as yours? I love the color of you dark Ancistrus! If you come across anyone selling some like yours, please let me know! I just can't find any like I like right now. Thanks

I breed a lot of ABN's and have always used bare bottom tanks. I'd love to see pictures of your whole tank. How in the world do you clean it with all those little one's in there. I tried gravel bottom once and the gravel was hard to keep clean with the little one's in it. I use 20 long tanks for breeding. What size tank do you have these in?
