Pleco's

[Marvelous]

Hi I was wondering if there were any pleco breeders around here lol. Im not real sure what I am looking for but I like those L200 plecos, Idk for sure what there called. Does anyone breed any? I might be interested in buying 1 or 2 if you had any for sale.

Thanks
Marv

Phantom

Ya thats the one. Do you breed them?

I don't breed any plecos right now. I may be working on some ABN plecos soon once I make some caves but that's it. I happened to find that one auction on Aquabid. You may be able to find them elsewhere.

Plecos are apparently really difficult to breed so i think aquabid would be your best bet, finding a pleco breeder might be hard.

Many plecos are easier to breed than some other tyeps. BN plecos for example would fall into the easy category IMO. They won't breed however, unless you have the right caves for them. They have to feel secure and feel like their eggs will be protected before they decide to spawn.

Wow, i guess i didnt know they dont breed the same. Can you sex them all the same way or is that different too?

Thanks for the info btw

Sexing depends on the species. Some species have sexual dimorphism and some species have sexes that look nearly identical. BN plecos for example are easy to sex when you have adult specimens because the males get the bristles and the females don't or they are very short and fine.
