I have just had to cut my bristle nosed pleco out of a log, when i managed to free him i found a clump of yello/orange eggs. On putting them in a breeding trap i have noticed that one has hatched and is attatched to the sack. it is about 5mm and opac in colour, is it a baby pleco? if so i have about 30 more, almost all i can see a baby fish in side the egg.

s it a baby pl*co?

It most probably is, but your best bet is to wait for the fry to develop further and see.

thanks mate, i will keep them in the breeding trap as there are fish in the tank that will eat them. there are now about 5 - 7 going mad within the egg clump, if they survive what do i feed them on? anything special and how long do the sacks last for??

This might help.

thanks very much, i have now about 15 babys, my local aquatic ahop have never heard of any bristlenosed plecos breeding in a comunity tank.
I will keep you informed and let you know of any developments and if they are plecos.

just to let you know, i have at least about 15 - 20 new baby plecos, they are about 1cm long now ang getting bigger and fatter.

good job...have you got any pictures? or pictures of the community tank they were spawned in??
what else was in that tank(inhabitants)...I had a spawn of BN a while back in a tank with some wild angels...
