Hey All,

So I am soon going to set up a 90x45x45 centimetre aquarium and I decided that I would like to try breeding plecos.

I am open to any recommendations on any small pleco that I could breed in this size tank. Preferable under $300. Any info on them too would be an added bonus!

I would prefer to breed plecos that aren't very common around Perth and people would like to see more of.

Cheers

those 2 things just dont go together... want some rare plecos to breed under $300.... all the common stuff is cheap for a reason (its common)... rarer stuff is more expensive (because they are rare)  :Rofl_3f:  :Rofl_3f:  :Rofl_3f:  :Rofl_3f:

you want to know how to kill two years of your life...buy some rarer plecos and wait for them to grow and breed...ohh i forgot to mention in those two years you have feed them good quality food every day and do you two water changes a week...

and if you are your lucky and fast when you turn the light on you might capture a small little glimse of the tails as they scamper to there caves...but after all that.... i still cant get enough of it...i love it.

 

go with the L134 great looking fish and wont break the bank to get you started...but still a touch on the rear side.

Thanks Everyone.

I think I might breed L201s they are very cool. I also got a nice trio of Peppy bns in my cichlid tank. (Thanks Zacy Boy)
