A new spawn of Alfs

rmc · 01-28-2006, 01:23 PM

I was able to sneak up on the cave a get a quick shot of the fry separating from the eggs.

{where you in the tank with them?}

Congradulations Grandpa!

mousey · 01-30-2006, 08:51 AM

sorry, what's an Alf?

rmc · 01-30-2006, 09:48 AM

Sorry........ Alf is short for Albino Long Fin Pleco. Here is a pic of the male out 'n about.

fishfreaks · 01-30-2006, 09:59 PM

He's very handsome!

craftyflalady · 02-01-2006, 08:16 AM

Wouldn't object to you sending me some of those fry when they are ready!

Nice looking Daddy there!

cool picture never seen anything like it.

mousey · 02-01-2006, 01:54 PM

Ha ha ,i always thought it meant some kind of frog!!
Big Al's has a batch of baby gold bushy nose just now.They look the same as in your picture.
Can i put 1 in a tank with an oto? it is a ten gal. Would there be enough algae for both? I could possibly put it in the 20 gal but there is little algae there.

rmc · 02-02-2006, 04:54 AM

The ones I have max out at approx. 6 inches. I think they would be fine with Otto's but you would need to or should provide other foods. I feed mine spirulina flake, zuchinni, lettuce, and other green stuff I can get out of the refrigerator when my wife isn't looking.

mousey · 02-02-2006, 01:31 PM

My little oto has not yet discovered the algae tabs i leave him.Am trying cucumber today.

rmc · 02-03-2006, 10:11 AM

I moved dad and the kids to a growout tank a few days ago and the little buggers are starting to emerge. I can't yet see all of them but it looks like a HUGE batch. I'll try to take some more pics later and post them.

BlueMaxx · 02-03-2006, 11:27 AM

aww can't wait to see them

rmc · 02-04-2006, 08:45 PM

The pics are not that good but I tried. The fry are just starting to venture out on their own.

There are already a bunch scattered around the tank but you can see that there is still quite a few in the cave.

And then I saw this in one of my Altum tanks this morning.

MaryPa · 02-05-2006, 03:01 AM

I`ll let you leave your room if you come take some pics of my fish. Awesome pics there kiddo.

nathanaus · 04-20-2006, 05:51 AM

Nice pics hope thay go well

nathanaus · 04-21-2006, 04:41 AM

Can any one tell me how much the albino long fin pleco costs and how hard it is to breed.

**Fishnut2** · 05-10-2006, 09:10 AM

The albino long fins go between $8 to $12 at 1". They are just as easy to spawn as the regular finned BN.
