1.60m South American biotope

A few days ago, I discovered that the Hypoptopoma sp had eggs. I didn't know how long the eggs had been there, but today I found out that they transformed into larvae. Here a picture of it.

How did it end up with the larvae?

I really like your aquariums, and all the nice pictures you share with us.

With regards

How did it end up with the larvae?

Didn't make it. It's really hard to get them take some food. But I got a second change now and trying to feed them Spirulina algae and Liquifry.

@RHD, thanks

beautiful aquarium, hopefully soon we can show a sunset hypoptopoma, such are the crenicaras to live in a community?

What fish is in the last picture

 

[Gertbl]

I'll try to make a photo of the Hypoptopoma with only the night lights on.

@Seanor, The name of the fish is standing under the picture. It's the Dicrossus filamentosus male.

Here are some more pictures:
