Gosh! Superb photos. I am gobsmacked.
This week I had my first ever plecos fry. They are albino bristlenose and I didn't even know he had eggs, let alone fry.


They have a bit of growing to do yet as the Endler guppies are bigger than them.


Other ancistrus I have are common ancistrus, lf albinos, lf commons, orangespot bns, and peppermints.
Not really sure what the L number is for our Australian peppermints is, as ours lose the white edging on the tail as they get older.

well i must admit all the pic's are great in this thread....well done everybody keep up the great work

i like the pic with the baby and the guppy
