I am planning on breeding bristlenose pleco in a 40 gallon tank. I would only keep the pair in the tank and when they spawn I would move the female to my 115 gallon display tank. However, I don't know how the tank should be set up. I have a submersible filter but could I cover the intake with tights to stop the fry being sucked in? Is it beneficial to use a substrate or could I go with a bare bottom tank as it will be in my garage and I am not going for aesthetics. Also, what is the best way to stimulate spawning in the female? Should I do a series of large water changes over a week or raise the temperature slighty? Also, do plecos need spawning mops as well as plenty of driftwood and caves? Sorry for all the questions, I just don't want to mess up
