THE Greg Jones here, our snow whites are brothers and sisters, i think that makes us adoptive dad bros. When mine start breeding I'll give you some the next time i see you. On the topic of wood and plecos, i'm actually considering carving some shallow wooden bowls to smear repashy gel food onto in order to closely mimic natural grazing and promote more wood consumption, my theory is the softer the wood the easier they get what they need for digestion. From my own experience, when i tried raising fry without wood they randomly died for no reason, so i'm inclined to offer more wood and diverse food choices all day/night long to keep them grazing

How did their first spawns go assuming you had both sexes? I'm picking some up today and I'd love to know about the problems you've faced with them, I already do super reds, but I've been reading about warped spines, stunted growth and one eyed fry. One thing I do think you have right is adding botanicals for tanins, this was already my plan. The anti bacterial and anti fungal properties could well help if the eggs are weak, to my mind by making the eggs grow without big attacks from fungus and bacteria, you're supporting the development of the embryo, that being said I'm also not a fan of the methylene blue approach as I dont see how raising them in sterile conditions will help support a strong immune system, they need exposure to certain things, but it needs to be exposure in safe doses. Just my theory, but it makes sense to me. I didn't grow up in a perfectly sterile environment, and I dont think eggs should either.

Never had a spawn. They are not any different than other bristle nose morphs.

Thanks, I have collected my fish, I completely agree that they're ugly, but they are pricey, so definitely worth having if they spawn. I'm pretty sure I've got 3 females and a male, though they're a bit too small to be certain, hopefully you'll have some luck some time soon, and fingers crossed I'll have a bit more luck than you have so far with them.

Btw, the ancistrus wood myth isn't one as far as I can tell. Because of how their intestines work, my hypothesis is that the wood fiber (lignin) they accidentally eat by grazing the biofilm on the wood helps with their digestion. This is the reason that often failure with ancistrus is linked to lack of wood. They aren't specific wood eaters, but they need tons of fiber and wood is an easy natural fiber that supplement their diet because of the way it breaks down and grows a biofilm for easy grazing. I've noticed in all my ancistrus breeding tanks, that spider wood especially, gets thinner as the years go by...

@kjeaquatics Жыл бұрын

Talk to experts , they will tell you wood is Not required for ancistrus - It is all about the bio-film upon it

@kjeaquatics Жыл бұрын

That being said I add wood and botanicals for that Bio-film

@MichaelsFishRoom Жыл бұрын

If it works, it’s right for you.

@Shadow_Arbor Жыл бұрын

@@kjeaquatics I didn't say it's required. I specifically mentioned that I believe that the reason it helps is the accidental ingestion of fiber. It could be that it's simply the biofilm that grows on botanicals, but I'd argue that grazing on botanicals causes the accidental ingestion of fiber. Have you ever seen a leaf after being grazed on for a while by an ancistrus? It gets eaten. I doubt that's because it was specifically eating said leaf or wood, but there definitely is ingestion of the wood. For the same reason that wood in ancistrus tanks breaks down faster compared to tanks without it. I have spoken with "experts" as that's really a subjective term, and they've said that my hypothesis makes sense. Again I'd like to reiterate, this is my theory, it could be that I'm wrong and that it's just the biofilm needed. If that was the case I'd expect to see survival of baby ancistrus in tanks with biofilm supplement, lots of algae and no wood, but in my experience, there is always a higher survival rate with wood. In any case "talk to experts" isn't really an argument. If you could mention names of so called experts I would definitely be more than glad to go listen to what they have to say and see what they think about my idea. Have a great day 😊

I'm having trouble with these plecos. I have a proven breeder female and a young 1 year old male. Nothing I do will get them to breed. I've been breeding Super red long fins without any issues for years. Really not sure what's going on. The female is two years old.

@@MichaelsFishRoom definitely possible that they just aren't a match 🤣 I've seen the male try and trap the female in his cave but also chase her alway. I'm feeding them my own DIY dry food that I make from spirulina, BSF larvae, moringa, spinach and more. My Super reds seem to breed fine with it, but maybe switching up the food might help. It's really hot here in Israel, so atm water temperature is 26. I tried a cool water change with soft ro water today. Hopefully that'll get them in the mood!
