These plecos seem really quirky hey?

Trap for days and nothing, trap and have eggs and kick em out, hatch eggs to fry and still kick em out, eat eggs.
Just plain wierd and annoying but at the same time the challenge is worth it.

I suppose if they all just laid like battery hens and raised heaps of fry all the time the challenge would be gone and we wouldnt enjoy them as much?

my sole 260 egg hatched and is wriggling like a champ!!!!

hopefully the rest are in one of the caves i cant see... all the male are covering up asap when i turn on a torch!!!

333's 66's 397's are all trapping now too... cmon 201's your next!!! plenty of other activity with other species too... musta been the drop in barometric pressure to give them the hurry up...

Not happy plecos yesterday. Old airpump was making the noise but it was red hot and nothing coming out of their sponge filters.

New pump installed and now I have tanks like bubbling cauldrons lol.
I'll have to watch now and make sure I didn't lose anyone but so far no losses I've seen.

My L201 had a lady trapped at the time. I don't know if I scored any eggs yet or not though.
L397 has a batch of fry in his log. Fins crossed they are still ok.

in the past 2 months I've had 2 massive drops from my pair of long fin albino bristlenose.

Currently sat on about 35-40 @ 2cm and probably another 50-60 just starting to come out of cave now managed to catch about 30 last night into a growing tank looked in parents tank again today and its swarming with fry again.

I'm going to have to split the parents at this rate as its getting excessive I'm running out of grow out room :(

it would be if it was my 264's !!

while longfin albino bn's are less common they're still bn's shifting the insane quantities is semi-difficult though I do appear to be the only long fin albino breeder locally so I manage to shift most off to local shops

I just moved to a new house last week and moved all my tanks, and already have eggs from my peppermints and corys, and I just got my second batch of l144 eggs:) I wasn't expecting breeding so fast after moving!
