My flash plecos (L204) have finally bred

Post by flatfish »

After many years trying my flash plecos Panaqolus albivermis have finally bred.
The spawn was unexpected as they were young fish and I had been trying to breed them for over 10 years.
Nice to finally get a result and there is another very fat female so hopefully its not the last spawn.

Thanks Eric. Always nice when a plan comes together even if it took a very long time :). The young certainly are very cute.
