BN Pleco Breeding Journal

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

The ones MsJinkzd is selling are the relatives of the father of my babies. They all came from TwoTankAmin's stock.
 
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?

I have them in a 25 gallon tank. Luckily the babies seem pretty smart about moving out of the way of the python when I clean!
The gravel is vacced once a week, and seems to do fine. It helps that it is dark and mixed in color, so dirt doesn't show much.

Here is a photo of the tank, taken today. You can see the babies allllll over the bottom.

What did you use for a breeding cave?
 
Thanks for posting the picture of your tank. Very nice. Oh, the BN's that Msjinkzd has pictures of in the add are long fin. I do not want any long fin's. Thanks anyway. :thm:

She is actually out of the longfins now. She also has regular, but forgot to post them in her most recent ad.
 
What did you use for a breeding cave?

Actually, the little horndogs didn't even give me a chance to put in a cave. They laid eggs when it was it the mail. They managed to squeeze them between two vertical pieces of driftwood, as you can see in the early egg photos. They now have a little cave made from half a coconut.
 
Hey Biohazard. How long are your adult brown ancistrus?

Well, I just have the one brown male, and one albino female. I do not think the male is full grown yet. He is around 3 inches. The female is a little larger, closer to 4 inches.
