Relevant Information: |
First appeared in the German Datz
magazine of October 1990. Aquarium Care: No problem
with keeping in groups but only one Hypancistrus species
to a tank as there has been reports of hybridisation. Diet:
Omnivores, juveniles are keen on vegetable foods whereas adults
are less so. Frozen foods such as brine shrimp, mosquito larvae
and mussels as well as tablet foods. Provide
soft wood in the aquarium. Sexual differences:
Males posses a broader and longer head and odontodes on the posterior
part of the body, behind the gill covers and on the pectoral fin
spines. The latter two are a lot shorter in the females. |
