Breeding common plecos

[big_al01]

Can someone fill me in with some info on breeding common plecos?

 

[gordo96]

They have to be adult size to breed. And I heard it is difficult to breed the common pleco since they have to grow a lot and they are really slow at growing. The easiest pleco to breed would be the bristle nose pleco

The major obstacle would be providing a large enough tank and adequate filtration.

Why breed them when they're by far the most available pleco and almost all end up in tanks way to small for them. But yes thing a huge tank

No such thing as a dumb question . Was just wondering why you'd want to breed such monsters. Sorry if I came off wrong
