which is unusual for this genera. Females have this trait on a
lesser scale. Aquarium Care: The Ancistrus
genera make good community fish where they do not grow too big
for the aquarium. Some species have different requirements in
the aquarium so best to read up on the species you have whereas
if they need higher oxygen requirements or not, or if they prefer
cooler waters if they originate from the southern parts of South
America against the species from further up north. Diet:
Vegetable foods such as cucumber and courgette and also tablet
and meaty foods. Breeding: Lay their eggs in
caves as a cluster and the first signs of the breeding process
is a few tiny fry darting around the community tank. |
