Hello,

Already in the past few years there have been various first catfish breds by Sven Seidel, Welsladen Chemnitz, for example:

Ancistomus feldbergae (L 12/L 13)
Hypancistrus sp. “L 450″
Hypostomus sp. “L 345″
Panaqolus sp. “L 403″

A few weeks ago Sven Seidel succeeded the (first?) reproduction of Lasiancistrus heteracanthus. Congratulations, Sven.


Lasiancistrus heteracanthus, ~ 4cm.

The breeding took place in a sale aquarium, in an acuarium installation similar to this on picture 6.

Once the week Sven makes water changes with tap water.
Aquarium size 100cm x 60 cm x 35 cm = 210 L.
pH ~7, KH ~1-2, conductivity ~300 µS/cm, temp. ~28-30°C.
Group: 1 male, 1 female
In the aquarium there are many other species of plecos.
A special stimulation was not necessary.

Greetings
Elko
