I finally gave my Pucallpa I got from MAB years ago a cave good enough for spawning. What do I feed the babies? I have golden pearls and hikari fry food. I don't know if those are the right products.
What do I feed baby Ancistris sp pupcallpa

Congrats on the spawn. Feed the babies the same food as adults.

I also put some aged/used driftwood in with the babies, I've had better survival if I do that. I think it allows them to graze on the microbial funk that lives on the wood during the day between feedings. Even if they're in a breeder box, I put a little sprig of manzanita in with them.

I dropped some Soilent green in the hang breeder box. Thanks for the info.

I keep them in the parent tank which is full of Malaysian driftwood and java fern. And I feed them algae wafers and cucumbers.

Spectrum makes a water-stable sinking wafer/pellet that can sit in the tank up to 24 hours. It isn't specifically for herbivores, but I've used it as a fry food for dwarf cichlids and baby plecos.
Rachel coats driftwood with Repashy - I haven't tried that method yet, but it looks like something a pleco would think is yummy.

Do you know what repashy product she coats the wood in? Is it a liquid? paste?

She uses Soilent green and a little meat pie I think.

Repashy is a gel food. I feed all my pleco fry NLS Grow pellets, Ken's veggie flake, and occasionally french cut canned green beans.

If anyone is wondering. I am having great success with Repashey Soilent green. I have only lost one so far. That loss occurred the day after I moved them to the marina breeder box. By the way we should have another group buy on those. They work great.
