Plecos bred

[Amicus]

I have two plecos in my planted tank. One is an albino BN and one standard BN. I have noticed large areas under my driftwood that were dug out and the male had disappeared. I was doing a water change this morning and saw a little pleco on the glass! I thought if anyone would appreciate it you guys would.

Good for you! Is it regular or albino?

 

[Amicus]

I'm not sure, it's too small to tell so it might be an interesting pleco when it gets big enough to tell. I hope it doesn't get eaten!

You should post pictures soon!

I tried but the little guys moved by the time I got my camera. I think they're only about 4mm. I'm not sure they'll even show up in a photo but ill try.

Lol I agree!

 

[kdklovesfish]

Lol I agree!

My family isn't as excited for my babies either non-fish people just don't get it!!

I agree with all of you! I now have at least 4 plecos in a 72g tank. What do you guys think I should do with the babies? I'm going to keep the adults.

 

[phishfriend]

Sell them to the AA community.

So not albino?

Not interested in selling them. I'll give them to someone who can give them a good home.

No sure, there may be more in there and I haven't seen them yet. I would imagine in a week or two ill know who is swimming around in there. Maybe.

Albino=recessive allele so I don't think any will be... If your babies breed they will have about 25% albino though
