Now I can shoot again and here some shots of the little fellows.
who does keep these fish and does anybody had some breeding success?

 

Hey, they look awesome!!!

 

Congrats on the new fish ,,, camera also takes very nice pics.

 

I got, they are a bit shy, dont know about breeding.

 

Good morning Gilbert
How many do you have, sex? Did they ever chase, occupied breeding tube?

 

they look great

 

Awesome looking pleco's , i love cats. BTW Clown Pleco's are Panaque maccus. I am to sure weather they are Peckoltia brevis, they look a bit to spotty , its really hard to tell

 

Hi Reafer
You are right depending where you are looking.Clown pleco can be Panoque or peckoltia "pulchum" ( never found that species name or P vitatta. Had a look in the Seidel and it might be brevis or L55.
Went on a L Catfish site and they confirmed a POSSIBLE brevis.
Brevis is as German name "Spotted head dwarf catfish"?????
Do you have any experience keeping the little buggers
Thanks and chat soon

 

Only one, Want to swap out my Gibbiceps for another.

I'm hoping that more will get him active. They are very pretty

I sometimes dont see him for a week or more, to such an extent, that I have never seen him eat.
Have not sexed it. How do you?

The two leave each other alone

 

Nice looking little buggers

 

Hi gilbert
Also have 2 gibiceps to give away so if you find someone who want more let him/ me know
The male get more and longer odontoden, (bristels)on gill cover, pectorial fin and on the back.
Mine are actually very active and by far not as shy as the Hypancistrus.
Don't know of hand where you from but there is a dealer in my part of the woods who still has one left. PM me if you want the tel. no

 

Thanks

Will keep it in mind.

Got my eye on a Gold nugget at the mo

 

Wow, great fish

 

looks nicely camouflaged

 

Hi Speeds
You can say that again was lööking for the fellows and one was lying in the gravel right infront and i just noticed him when he moved. I can imagine how it is in the wild you just wouln'd see it untill it moves

 

Very nice
