Hypancistrus zebra 2.0

It would seem our zebras have finally settled in and have started breeding again. I expect the first batch to leave the cave shortly within the next few days. We will be holding these back for future breeders so that we might one day be able to produce these on a more regular basis. Once we have enough for future breeding stock, we will offer this wonderful species again to the public.

Also this week, our Centromochlus perugiae have spawned. We will be looking at improving our yields by incorporating a new in tank aquarium system. It should help keep things more stable and allow for a large volume of water for the fry. We anticipate this will increase our growth rates on our fish and allow more flexibility.

Last, we are moving our Emerald Green Oto fry to a 20 gallon growout. We are going to hold these back also for future breeding stock. There are around 20 offspring that now range in size from a little over 3/4"-1 1/4". Our goal is to try to offer as many offspring as CatCon approaches and beyond.

More updates to come!
