Kind/kind: Hypancistrus sp. “L 399”
Origin: Rio Xingú (Belo Monte), Pará, Brazil
Presented: Datz 10/2005
Size: 15 cm
Water equivalents:
T: 26 - 30° C
pH: 5,5 - 7,5
KH: 0 5° dH
GH: 0 20° dH
Recommended basin size: starting from 80 cm
Sex differences: Male with broader head, longer Interopercularodontoden and more Odontoden on the first chest fin jet, as well as on the whole body. Female usually somewhat smaller.
Social behavior: Lively, well compatible kind.
Etymologie: “Hyp” of Greek “hypo”: stands for the reduced Kieferbezahnung compared with Ancistrus. “- ancistrus” of Greek “ankistron” = “Widerhaken”: named-giving is the Interopercularodontoden.
[i] Attitude: [/b] in basins starting from about 80 centimeters can be maintained four to five animals problem-free together. To the mechanism in any case caves and/or stone columns should belong, into which dawn and/or night-active shrinks from themselves, quite animals withdraw can. As Beifi calm are recommended not to aggressive fish which leave also something fodder remaining to the Welsen. L 399 nourishes itself omnivor, Trockenfutter of all kinds naturally also willingly is eaten main. Body food shell meat as well as shrimps seem mix to be. Flared out animals from the trade let themselves be developed partially very well with living Cyclops or Artemia again.
The water equivalents are only secondarily important. Good water quality (little nitrate, no nitrite, high oxygen content,…) by regular water changes and a sufficient filtering is naturally basic condition for a successful care.
I could not determine consumption of raw food in addition, no consumption of wood of any kind with my animals.
Breed: Similarly as with H. zebra.
Other: Hypancistrus frame L 399 in the same catch-offered as Hypancisrtus frame L 400 imprisoned, which makes a distinction of these kinds very difficult, are nevertheless both very variable drawn probably it.
