I've been looking after a neighbors tank for awhile now and it turns out he is heading back to Afghanistan unfortunately.

He decided to give his tank to his brother and his L177's to me! :D There are 4 of them in total, I have to go pick up the other two tomorrow. Sorry for the lousy pictures, they were a bit of a surprise and were a little pale from stress. They are usually quite vibrant in his tank but well you know how that goes. :)

Good lord I have no room for them and am worried they won't be very nice tank mates from what I've been reading, but the are very cute!.

Well I have all 5 of em. :) 2 of them look to be females. I think I know the Frank you are speaking of, Frank Aguillerre.

On the breeding front I just figured I'd drop them off at Gino's house or Charlie Drew's and pick them up with all their fry in the summer! :P

I know this gentleman. His name is Frank Aguirre and he is a very knowledgeable aquarist. Frank used to be a fish manager at Aquarium Services. His reputation is excellent.

I was not aware that Frank was breeding fancy plecos. I have not talked to him for some time. I know he is one of the very few people to breed Altum angelfish.

A few year back I saw his presentation in Brampton regarding breeding Altum angle. His name is on CAOAC speaker list. I like how he raise baby brine shrimp without water moment so the baby brine shrimps don't have to spend all their energy to fight with the current that way it will reserve more nutrition on the brine shrimps.
