I thought this was the discussion page. Lol. I haven't actually used forums much.

Awsum. If they really did start breeding iv got plenty of good homes for em

Hi guys. Here's the situation- my mrs has a mix tank of fairly small cichlids ( an even a few mollies) an any that do show aggression, get moved to one of our bigger cichlid tanks. She wants to get a few Kribensis an hopefully get em to breed. There's plenty of hiding spots an holes ect. What's the chances of getn em to breed an a few babies surviving ? Any comments?

Lol. Cheers for that guys. While where talking about L numbers- is there any "system" to L numbers? Or simply each type of pleco has a number? I'm assuming ( could be wrong) that a lot of the plecos we see around are not found naturally and are the results of selective or accidental cross breeding? So when summone comes up with "a new" pleco they just assign it a number? ( don't worry- I'm not gona start messing with gene lines and start trying to cross, mix breed plecos lol) I'm a bit of a novice with plecos and I'm still getn learning about all the L numbers. Cheers for everyone's help, advice an input

A lil confusing but that's the kinda answer I was expecting! Hahah Pet shops an ( and private keepers who accidentally breed) can quiet easily wrongly name all types of fish. Eg- person comes in from the street with a fish his breed an wants to sell/ trade. Quiet often the spices is simply determined bt looking at a picture in a book. ( the fish could be a half cross breed of anything!) an many fish tend to look quiet similar as juvies. That's a lil off topic from my original post but it fustrating when sum ones telling a fish is this an some else is telling its Anuva! Hahahah. But yeah so bristly catfish are a seperate species an wont get the massive sizes the plecos can get. Is there any sure fire way to tell bn catfish apart from plecos when they're small? Or does it come down to experience? An cheers for your reply

Hi guys , prob a simple question but are bristle nose catfish a pleco? I keep getn told different things. It seems a bristle nose catfish can be purchased from $10 - $20 but a pleco the same size cost any where from $80-100 for the same size? I'm just a lil confused is all. Any thoughts
