L66 King Tigers

Weesbee cameby today and I was showing off all my 19 L66 King Tiger Breeders.
As I lifted one of the caves, out goes a lot of babies

I am stoked, I thought they are just there fattening their asses not doing anything.
I got Babies all around the tank.
Pretty cool sight!

Next mission get my and Davids L260 colony to breed!
Kings has bred, The Queens are up

Congrats!! How big are they? Planning on selling some in few months? Send some my way, I need to diversify my gene pool....pretty sure all mine are from the same batch.

They are 1/2", they got a lot of growing to do.
As I inspect the tank trying to find them I saw 3 more gravid females.
I am excited wooohooo

Dang. Nice !!!! Keep them coming.

Let me know when they are bigger and you want to sell some. I am interested.

I have 5 left. They don't get much bigger! They are a small pleco but super nice!

They are the bigger Hypanscistrus compared to L333, L46 etc. They can size up to 5"+ TL and 4.7" SL can easily exceed 5 inches with tails. My males are 4.5"-4.7" in length. Females are a bit smaller. Here is a photo of my breeding set-up, the calvus caves are 5" and see for yourself how big they get.

I bought a bunch yellow king tigers from riverwonders a year ago at 1.5" they have grown 1/2"-3/4" since I got them.

Like any other Hypans they are slow growing pl*cos.

What size tank do you have them in? Do I need to get a 55 for them eventually? I have them in a 30 growing out.

I got my Adult breeders, all 19 of them in a 40G breeder.
I have 3 big sponges and an AC110, for filtration.
A constant temperature of 82 deg.
Nothing special with the water just treated off the tap.

Looks like a w hore house

It is a breeding tank not a show tank. I ain't got any show tank

That's what a breeding tank should look like. Whhore house.

How cool is that baby plecs, wish my freeloaders would get busy and make some baby plecs for me.

Thought I was going to have to make a run for the loo!! Whhorehouse love it!!

Here I've just been telling the kids the stork comes by regularly that's why I have the solared powered multi color yard lights for a runway path.

Shay!!! runway OMG that is great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

showoff!!!

More Discoveries Today!!! Another clutch of L66 King tigers They still have some egg sacs left...But these are a larger clutch than the first one. About 20 or so.

Holey Rock of Texas aka David....

Here's the news you are waiting for...

L260 has spawned and a male is sitting on a very large clutch! They are still orange but already wiggling...I mean large clutch about 20 or so. I was planning to transfer the colony to a larger tank when I happen to see a male fanning lots of eggs

I am stoked!!!

Nice jojo ...very nice.

I think there is something in the water...

5 of my Karema and 3 moba females are holding.
Someone must have thrown aphrodisiac in Allen water.
It's spawning season here!!!

I did water changes in all my tanks today. Let's see if your magic can rub off on me

Here's some goodluck your way

Have you set-up a bowl with marbles in it? about 4" of marbles would do...

I was breeding them on pyrex bowl so I can see eggs to collect them.

nice setup you got going, i may have to hit you up for some tips on the petricola myself, i brought quite a few of yours and want to do some breeding when they grow out.

I tore down my breeding bowl. I was trying to find a pic for Len.
I will keep on looking and send you guys a pic for references.

They are carnivores... and like any carnivore they need high protein diet for conditioning to spawn.

yeah, so exactly what were you feeding them, i've been meaning to do some research but i have been busy lately. Currently there eating nls pellets like the fish.
