I was just thinking that it may be handy for members to post what they are currently "breeding". It can then be referred by other members after advice on breeding a specific L number or for anyone trying to locate one.

I'm mainly a BN and cichlid breeder, so my pleco list is short

Common Bristlenose
Albino Bristlenose
Peppermint Bristlenose
Orangespot Bristlenose
Long Fin Common Bristlenose
almost forgot the Royal Whiptails

Feel free to add your own list to the thread.
