lol dont all quote me on it i just said he looks like my L182 Juvi....

He will be a stunner no doubt...

Another one from today - focussed on his fin and body patterns rather than his face for once - maybe better for ID. He's growing fast is turning into a right character. He's been attempting to make friends with the Macmasterii who are none too impressed as they've just spawned again.

And the latest - his colouring has changed hugely over the last few weeks as he's approached adult size.

Def an oragne spot, looks just like my big fella

looks like a L059....but it also looks just like my young L182's did...always a tough one when they are this colour....

Keep posting the pics mark weve missed them...

I'll keep them coming - he's appreciating to the home grown courgettes at the moment. The latest pictures doesn't do his "antlers" justice.

Hello all - sorry for the lack of updates my other half is still a bit poorly.

An update - Swapped out the Salvinia Natans for Limnobium Spongia. The Natans is just too quick to grow - never mind outcompeting algae I was chucking out 75% of it onto the compost heap every week - and by the next week it would be ocvering 2/3 of the top again. My other plants were suffering. Sacked the CO2 as well and replaced it with Easycarb. Plants absolutely love it - dose 2ml daily with Seachem Flourish once a week and the plants are doing grat (offer is still there if anyone wants a java fern plantlet or two).

Now running a school of true upside down catfish - 8 in all. Busy little things. Swapped my female 144 for a female (forgotton the designation right now) of the same number as my male as I have a fish keeping buddy down here who was desperate for a female 144 and couldn't find one.

The Panduro have spawned twice and the Macmasterii are even better than ever.

BTW that AquaOne filter is superb - talk about gin clear water. The only thing about it is you need to change the wool filter as in chuck away rather than rinse every 2-3 months. Its very effective and the flow will gradually slow until you change it. Much better than the Fluval.

Anyway here we go ... my female Ancistrus.



A certain little BN has now grown up



Male A. Macmasterii. You all know him.



Female A. Macmasterii. You know all know her.
