    I know what you mean bro. Even I have a fascination with breeding. I couldn't help myself. Setting up a 12 tank breeding rack at the moment.

    Very unusual to see people breeding colour variants of ancistrus.

    I'll be following this thread!

    Thanks Xandoz
    They are looking absolutely amazing.
    Dare I say the best looking ancistrus I have kept.
    Looks lik00e there is two color variants. Most are orange with black splashes . Then there are a few white in color with black blotches.
    As they grow older they just getting better looking. 0
    I might be bias, like all parents feel there kids are the cutes est. LOL. :)
