Keeping & Breeding
Successful breeding of Baryancistrus xanthellus
At the 1st International L-Number-Days in 2009, Johannes LEUENBERGER reported for the first time on the successful reproduction of the ever-popular “golden nugget”. In the following years, aquarists tried again and again, but mostly unsuccessfully. Until 2021, when the Bellenz Fish Farm was able to report another success. The Bellenz Fish Farm is known for outstanding breeding successes (Scobinancistrus aureatus, L 368, Pseudacanthicus spp. etc.) and has already lectured about this at numerous IG BSSW events.

The genus Acestridium in captivity

Hypancistrus cf. margaritatus “L 136c”
Neither the species nor the particularly attractive form treated here, which became known in aquaristics with the addition “c”, is something really new. In the last two to three years, however, there have been some changes in selection and linebreeding, which is why a particularly beautiful specimen is presented here. Continue reading
IG BSSW-News (Barben): Trigonostigma somphongsi
Die Geschichte von Trigonostigma somphongsi ist wohl eine der typischen “Totgesagte leben länger”-Geschichten.
IG BSSW-News (Welse): Lepthoplosternum pectorale (BOULENGER, 1895)
Schwielenwelse gehören schon seit sehr langer Zeit zum festen Bestand der Aquaristik. Der erste europäische Import von Megalechis thoracata nach Deutschland erfolgte bereits 1911 durch die Vereinigten Zierfischzüchtereien. Etwas schneller war ein anderer Schwielenwels, Callichthys callichthys, dessen Erstnachzucht bereits 1910 in Russland und 1935 in Deutschland gelang.
