Hypancistrus spp.

Spring seems to be coming early this year! Our Hypancistrus zebra are back at it after giving us 10 juveniles. The male once again has another female trapped. We will be looking to save some of these back for future breeders but may have some of this fantastic species available soon! The zebra plecos are not the only ones spawning as our group of F-1 Hypancistrus sp. "L-333" Porto de Moz have also spawned. The male is currently guarding the wigglers. These should be released later this month.

If you have checked it out yet, check out Ted Judy's videos on Colombia 2016. Ted is great friend having provided us with many fish species. We look forward to spending time with Ted at Cataclysm 2017 in Madison, WI. Do not forget to register for this great event at: Cataclysm 2017

Geophagus sveni

Just a quick update on our Geophagus. We have had some spawning activity recently but no viable fry. Things should pick up again here in the next month or two. We are going to work on moving some fish around in the hopes of having more spawning. Fingers crossed! Until then, a video of our Geophagus sveni feeding.
