BlackMumba Posted May 25, 2009 Report Share Posted May 25, 2009 :thumbs: Well, I had purchased a few Long Fin bristlenose plecos two years ago at one of the auctions, just for fun to see what would happen... if they got to big I would just sell them no biggy. Well as i turned out, I have a proven breeding pair, I checked today in the cave.. and Mister pleco was in it.. so I waited and he moved to his usual spot, I thought I would check again. Yep!!! Bright Orange eggs neatly in a pile.. I would say about 40 for sure without counting. I am very excited, I moved my betta's that were growing out in the tank with them, I read it takes about 10 days then another 4 to 5 days before they are going to be everywhere in the tank... and Yep on a strict diet of NLS !!

BlackMumba Posted May 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2009 :thumbs: well hopefully they will mature to baby pleco's too soon to know... but I am super excited, I am thinking of branching out to other types of pleco's as well... this gives me the motivation!!!
