Thanks Emanuel. So far the babies in the tank are doing well, I have not had any lost yet. I also have more new babies that I was able to move to the breeder box. see picture below of two of them.

Thanks Eric!
My main concern is that they won't get enough food and they will die of starvation in a 40g tank. Let's hope for the best.

Cheers!

I have just noticed that there is a male taking care of the eggs in one of the caves were one of the two females were trapped late Saturday. I did not check the caves yesterday so probably the male have been taking care of the eggs since yesterday. Hope I can have another group of frys. This time I ...

Hello - I have good news and bad news to share. The good news is that I have some L236 SW RB line babies. Yeah! (picture attached) I was out for a week and when I camelback I did found fry swimming in the 40b tank. The 40g tank is setup with the group of 10 L236 SW RB line that I acquired last month...

This is great info Brian, thanks for sharing the pictures and the knowledge.
Good thing is that I did not pull the trigger after Daniel feedback, now with your feedback I will not buy these.
You both save me a lot of money. Thanks again and really appreciate it.
Cheers

Hi, some years ago your individuals clearly would have been classified as the c-type, now they are nice b-specimens, compared to the "good" c ones. Hi Daniel. Thanks for your feedback. Please help me to understand a bit here, Are you implying that years ago the parameters/specs to qualify...

Thanks for providing the link. It is in German language so I will see how I can translate that.
Appreciate your help...

Thanks Jools - I was not aware of that. It is always good to learn something new. Appreciate it.
Do you have some links to articles you can share about it? I would love to read them and learn more.

Thanks
Melao

Thanks Eric for your feedback.

About your question above, that is my understanding.

Hello, Can someone please help me to identify if these are L-136C or L-136B ?
Thanks in advance.

I hope you didn't skip over my advice about the best way to sex fish is their behaviour. Especially interactions with another fish of a known sex. Spending lengthy time is next best as fish shapes and body profiles can change dramatically from minute to minute. Trying to sex fish from a photo is le...

Thank you Emanuel - Apparently no body else wants to give an opinion on this matter. So sad. :( I personally thought that it was going to be a good learning path not only for me but for many people in this group if many others were adding their opinions. I really appreciate your input and want to pe...

Thank you aquaholic. I agree with you on buying a group increases your chances, however sometimes some breeders tend to sell everything of same sex and the only reason that I can think about it is that those sellers/breeders won't want others to be able to reproduce them (there are a some videos on ...

It seems I have made a question that nobody is able to answer. Can someone please let me know if there is a different group or chat where I can post this question and get a possible answer at least saying "sorry, I can't determine the sex from the posted picture"
Thanks
Melao

Hello - I am asking for your experience and knowledge here to help me identify (if possible of course) the sex of this group of L236 RB line. The first picture with only 3 L-236 are 2 males and a females according to the seller, and the second picture with a group of 6 L-236 are only males according...

Thank you Emanuel. I hope in the future, with a lot of work, dedication and luck, breed them.

Hi Ruud, I have never had to deal with L Pleco less than 5cm, not yet at least. I hope some others with breeding experience from this group should be able to tell you what food they normally use for that size. I have been given my L134 and L236 plecos (3-4 inches) the following: Repashy Botton scrat...

Thanks Eric and Jools for your feedbacks. It is always good to have some experienced opinions. Appreciated!

Hello everyone - What do you believe of these L134 leopard frog - Do they have a good pattern and color? I don't see a good contrast but that is just my opinion that is not from an expert, I would like to get some opinions if possible, please.
Thanks...

Send me a private message with the name of the person you want to verify and I will answer you if that is the name of the seller I was planning to buy from or no.
Thanks

Just received the L236 SW RB line today and I want to post this picture before they go to through the acclimatization process and then to the tank. I am very happy and excited. The picture is not good because I am not a photographer but at least is something.

Thank you TowTankAmin for the detailed information. I have read the majority of your posts and believe me there is always something new to learn from you. You are an asset to this and other groups. I do not like the L236 yellow variant but that is just my personal point of view, I know there are som...

Thanks a lot TwoTankAmin - Do you see any defects in the L046 fishes from the posted picture that will avoid me to move forward buying them and possible try to breed them? I do not want to degrade the species.

Hello - Wanted to share some pictures of a group of 7 L046 between 3"-4" so I can get some opinions about quality and confirmation of the sex... The group of 4 are males according to the seller and the group of 3 are females. Can someone provide an opinion about quality from the picture, i...

Thank you Emanuel - Yes all the males are bigger than the females.... Not because I asked for that, just because the seller has all females smaller than the males. Just causality I believe.

Hi Emanuel - A good advise based on experience is never late. Thanks for the detailed feedback based on your personal experience. I have learned something new today. Thanks a lot for sharing your experience. I already bought the 10 L236 SW RB line 1:1 female-male ratio but I can definitely look for ...

Thank you Eric, These plecos parents are from Ernst Schmidt who received broodstock from his close friend and collaborator Robert Budrovcan, the originator of the RB line. The parents of the fish for sale were obtained directly from Ernst. Maybe some sellers will say that to sell more but I have ver...

Here are some pics now that they're in a tank and less stressed.

Can I please have any feedback regarding color, sex and in general about these 236 SW RB line ?
I can get back to the seller to change them if these are not really what they are supposed to be.
Any help on this will be also much appreciated.

Thanks a lot.

These are the supposed L236 SW RB line males
