Hi,
as I found some eggs in my pyrrhogaster tank I wasn't too optimistic because all eggs I collected the last years were infertile and didn't develop. But now I got this:
This is the whole story:
I'm keeping pyrrhogaster since 1984 and bred them almost every year at the beginning of the 90s. But in 1994 my breeding-male died and so I only had 1 male left (cb in 1991) with 4 females (3 cb in 1991/1992 and the "Old Lady" I got in 1984). The following years I never got any developing eggs. So I decided to get a new male and bought one in spring 2003, and after hibernating he looks really cool:
and he started looking for the girls real soon:
Here you can see his papillae:
And this is the "Old Lady" (the one in the foreground). I got her in 1984 and she was fully grown then!
