Very nice tank and gorgeous gymnos. These species have never seen in Guatemala. I hope any time watch them...

Thanks guys

Very nice Pete. Good luck and hope they spawn for you.

Why all the filtration?

Thanks Bill This is actually my least filtrated tank...I guess it makes me feel better when I don't have to worry about it

Yeah baby, I knew you would bred them! Has she picked them up yet? Guys, the Uruguay race blows the older race of balzani in the hobby away, that's why we go 1,000's of miles to get these guys. I'll be back there in a few weeks! My original male.

Not yet. She laid today.

This must be their natural breeding season. Didn't your old pair breed in Oct/Nov too?

Thanks

I lost some of the G. pellegrini...I think my water might be too soft for them. Have 3 left, one bigger than the other two. Hope they are a trio!

Congrats! Good Luck with them!! Just curious what are your tank parameters? Have you done anything special to try and get them to breed? I'd love to try and spawn mine one of these days!
