I have 2 Leopard sailfin plecos in my 190l tank.
They are both about 2 years old now and about 5-6" in length.
One of them has a lot more colourful belly than the other. I have no clue what sex they are.

But getting to the point in hand the colourful one has dug a hole about 1-2" deep through the gravel and that's his chill out place/nest. He has only just done this and is quite territorial over as my 7 clown loaches find out when it has hissy fits when they do their little roaming gang thing.

Is this breeding behaviour? The other one sits in the open doesn't dig or anything and just carries on as normal.

Can't get pictures as they are quite well hidden in the plants
