My first Ancistrus Claro spawn

[Jacqueline]

Day 7


Day 8


I find it hard to see when the yolk sack is dissolved.. It's belly is colored dark. With Hypancistrus you can see the belly is soft yellow or white, but with the Claro is much darker, browner. But looking from the top it's still round.

I've been busy a few days but here is the last update for now. I've decided to set them free in the adult tank, hoping they will follow their parents eating behavior.
I guess I will not see them for a while :-p

Day 9



Day 11

Day 20 and still going

The fry are still doing great!!

During my maintenance this morning I found 2 eggs in the sand. I did notice they were frisky again a few days ago, active fanning and females around the caves. Never saw the trapping, again... The eggs seem to be about 2 days old. No sign of other eggs. They still have to learn a lot....

Hi all!!

It has been a while since I visited this forum, sorry.
Here is an update on my Claro breeding. I got a little surprise from my breeding adults last year, two Golden fry
From the moment I discovered them (just before the Lwelse days last year) until now they don't show any signs of getting a pattern or changing colour. I"m not sure what they will look like in a year but for now they are awesome!

Here's some pictures:
