Description:
Description: Two sub adult Hypancistrus sp. L066 approximately 4-5ins which I believe to be both male. They are very elusive spending most of the time hidden in the rockwork and slate caves coming out mostly during the night under a blue light and also to feed readily during daylight hours although they are very sensitive to disturbance. They have both been well looked after and fed on a mixed diet of courgette, peas, new era algae pellets, muscle, cockle, shrimp, prawn, crayfish… Will need a nice large mature tank with soft low pH water loads of hiding places would prefer these to be brought by a breeder due to the rarity of these species and the likelyhood that they will soon become an endangered species in the wild due to habitat destruction. I am pretty sure that these are male fish although they are only about 2-3 years old originally wild caught before the import ban. Due to the increasing rarity and high value of these fish I would like £50 each or £90 for both fish although sensible offers may be considered. These would be the perfect accompaniment to any breeding group, just add females and these guys are ready to go! I can also throw in 3 slate breeding caves to any buyer.
Currently living in a 140x50x35cm sparsely planted Amazon biotope tank part of a 400L+ approx system. Water is RO with minerals filtered through peat with twice weekly 15% water change + Top ups.
Water tested every few days with parameters currently standing at:
pH 7
GH 4
KH 3
NH3 0ppm
NO2 0ppm
NO3 0-5ppm
PO4 0ppm
I am prepared to travel to deliver up to 80 miles from the BH15 area at an additional cost of £5 per 10 miles (this covers both legs of the journey) If preferred collection is also possible however both daytime collection and delivery would only be available on Thursday or Friday or collection 7pm onwards on days other than Thursday and Friday. I am able to provide a large poly box and very large koi bags for transportation and can have the fish bagged and ready to go in the shortest time possible to minimise stress.
