over run by baby plecos

[skargo2009]

Ok so I've just found at least another 80-90 newly hatched baby bristlenose pleco. I don't know what to do with them all. I also have at least 9 (from what I've seen) babies that are at least 2 months old. I only have homes for 2 of them.

I'm a pet store to sell them too?!?

Well I'm going to ask them tomorrow. But I'm not sure they will take them all. And I could have at least 80

I'm in the same predicament. But I'm going to grow them out to about 1.75-2" then try to
barter/sell them. I suggest you ask for store credit in exchange for the plecos. Especially if it's a chain pet store. Wishing you luck.

Plecos usually sell for good money.

My lfs has the smaller (2") for about $12. You should be able to unload them easy.. put up a for free ad on Craigslist if you want them picked up and out of the house.

I honestly wasn't expecting them to breed. She'd been with another male for 5 years and they never bred. And this new male has only been in the tank for about 3 months.
