| 2 | SonoAngel (k: 2) since 2007-06-16 to 2014-06-16, that's 7 years, 0 months; who writes, "Went to collect plecos and got them as extra - breeding couple. They tried to mate few times, especially after major water change, following temperature fluctuation and feeding bloodworms. However the eggs were quickly eaten by the cichlids. I never managed to get them quickly enough. When taken to breeding tank when "in mood", they stopped spawning straight away and did not resume until returned back to "their" own tank." |
