L173 - some pics

[TwoTankAmin]

I am getting a bit better with my old camera. May splurge for a new one. I am using a tripod. Here are a few pics I took today while doing wc and maint. on the six pleco tanks in the "fish space". This tank is for my second TR breeding L173 group. It is filled to the brim with offspring,

Alpha male


Beta male


Uncaved lurker


Small fry
They never look anything like their parents for a long time.

3 kids

Lovely plecos! So is that 2 males in the caves & a female out & about? Or too young to guess? Quite a size difference...

The alpha and beta are the two spawning males. The one in the wood is likely a fm, but that is an educated guess.

The rest of the pics are assorted sized/aged offspring.

Here is a pile of older kids from those two caved guys.
