OK, I got two more, because that is all they had.I will probably get two more if they get them in again. I have not seen any fighting yet, but then again I have not seen them out yet either.
Thanks,Matt

Hi, I found some L-104 locally and got four of them. I have them in a 40 us gal (36inx18inx18in). How many would be OK in a tank this size for breeding? The only other fish in the tank are six Cory cats and 14 neon tetras. I also have plenty of driftwood and 8 caves. For filtration I have an Emperor ...

Thanks, I'll have to make a trip and check out that place to.

Thanks for the suggestions. I think It's going to be either L333 or L134. Suckermouth, I will deffinetly check out ThatPetPlace.
Thanks,Matt

Hi, I'm looking for some Suggestions on a new Pleco. I have a 40gal(36in x 18in x 18in) and am looking for a pleco for it. I have bred Bristlenose in the past and want to try something else(unfortunately lost them all in a move). The tank will just be for the pleco's and some tetras. I will probably ...

OK,Thanks alot
Matt

Ancistrus species are certainly one of the fastest maturing and easiest to get to breed.

Most other genera and species take longer to mature, and are harder to get to breed.

Thanks,That's what i figured.What about L-134 I've read about 3-4inches how old would that be because that is ...

I had bristlenose I was breeding and they started when they where 9-12 months old.I was wondering if there are any other pleco that breed that early.All the other pleco I have been looking at say it takes years and I was just curious.
Thanks,Matt

Thanks,That was what I was looking for

Hi,I have decided to get calico bristlenose (see other post).I was wondering how many would be ok in a 55g?Also does anyone have anything on the calico bristlenose genetics?
Thanks, Matt

I would not describe getting L134 as an easy species to breed. The fry are easy to raise if you manage to breed them.
It seems to me that some of the Hypancistrus contradens, L201 and look-a-likes seem to be better "entry level" fancy dwarf pleco breeding candidates. I still don't for sure why I ...

I was thinking about going to thatpetplace/thatfishplace but too long a drive for me,anyway you probaly could try breeding them.I like those but again I hate driving out there and I want to pick out my fish.Leopard plecs are pretty niceand are cave spawners,so it should be pretty easy.Plus they ...

There was a post about breeding L002 a while back. But breeding there is about the same as any other pleco - cool water changes, good food, plenty of caves, a male and a female, and that's about it.

OK,Thanks I'll look for that post.Is there any other species that would have the same ...

Those are two very nice-looking fish for pretty reasonable prices, IMO. Either would be great, but in your case, I would make my decision based upon what temperature you plan to have your tank set at. The L-002 appears to like a sub-80 temp, while the L-270 prefers an 80+ temp. I don't think you ...

Hi I'm new here but I have been keeping fish as long as I can remember.I had a breeding pair of albino bristlenose in one tank and 3 young Panaque maccus I was going to try to breed,but I had to move and i stupidly forgot to test the new water and i lost them all.So now I'm going to be getting 55g ...

Ok thank you for your help.

Ok thanks I wont get any more i was just trying to increase my chances of getting a male and female.Do you think the powerhead would be a good idea?I just want to make the best setup for them i can.
Thanks

Hi,
I have a 29gal with 3 clown pleco's I want to breed.The pleco's are going to be the only fish in the tank.I have a bunch of drift wood and a couple slate caves.What else should I do to make it as natural as I can?I was thinking of adding a powerhead do they need/want a current? Also would ...

Thanks,matt
