I'll give the snails a try after I'm convinced I can successfully spawn consistantly.

Anyone else use snails for clean up / control

btw a secure way to avoid rotting eggs and foodleftovers: add a few Ramshorn snails and/or Trumpetsnails. they are harmless -even to eggs- but do clean up dead fry, unfertilized eggs (that would fungus otherwise) and leftover food.

I did that many times; these snails are truly harmless, they won't ...

I have a couple of wrigglers with egg sacks now....(less than 48 hrs)

Very tiny, the eggs are about a millimetre in diameter.

I've got some de-cap brine shrip eggs & micro-worms ready for when the egg sacks are used up.

Thanks for the advice, much appreciated.

My first success at capturing Petricola eggs...

I have microworm ready to go...
However, no brine shrimp.
Should I consider another food for these guys?
Egg yolk or liquid food as an alternative?

The pic shows the eggs the first evening. These will likely hatch tomorrow or tomorrow evening ...

Thanks

Here in Canada, the common name for L083 is a Sail Fin Pleco.

Sorry about the quality of the picture
I'm confident that he is a gold spot (L001)

Thanks for all of the responses

Thanks for the prompt response FuglyDragon

I searched PlanetCatfish on L001 this looks like mine...

Would both red or gold spot both be L001

I have these two Pl*cos purchased at a LFS as False Zebras.
One's darker than the other. Is it possible they are the same species
Any assistance is greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Kevin

Anyone have any ideas of which Pl*co this is
Thanks
