My Ancistrus sp. Calico finally grew to respectable size. I hope they will breed some day soon :)
I really don't get why they aren't more popular. I think they look fantastic (albeit the photo definitely doesn't do them justice. my iphone camera changes too many colors).
@Beiz Good looking!
I only managed them to breed once, 15yrs ago, accidentally.
I had to partially change the water several times in a sequence and then it happened.
Never succeeded again, not sure why.
@po3mah Ancistrus are finnicky. The general approach is to just give them enough caves and if it happens it happens 😅 Can't really plan for breeding them it seems (albeit my brown and albino pairs tend to breed every 2 weeks on average with about 100 fry per litter, but even those pick the weirdest nests whenever I make changes to their tank and to hell with the fancy and expensive caves lol).
