I have a Special request of Pleco Breeders

Mr Aquarium · 03-29-2005, 02:57 AM

I have got some info in the last couple of days, But,
Anyone that breeds Plecos, I would like to see Pictures of the
the caves that yours breed in and what the pleco is.......
Very hard to find Pictures of the caves on line and I have burned up
the search engines trying to find any.
Pleco Forums has allot of pics of the fish but not the caves.
Thanks for the help Guys,

Thanks for the Links, Thwm should show me What I wanting to see, If I need any other Helps I'll holla.

Howdy! For Hypancistrus, you want the cave to be the width of the male, with one pectoral most of the way extended, just tall enough he can get in comfortably, and one and half times his length. That formula allows you to conform the caves to different fish. Peckoltia should use the same dimensions. Ancistrus seem to prefer round caves with small doors at my house, but in all honesty, I've seen pictures of spawns they've had out in the open in a bare tank

. Hope that helps! If you're planning to work with other species, yell and I can check into their needs.

Barbie that you have been registered here for years seem very likely, considering your age. But I take it you are the same Barbie from Plecofanatics?

Barbie · 04-02-2005, 06:39 PM

Last time I checked it was impolite to make assumptions about a ladies age, but yes, I'm the only Barbie that I know of, actually. Numerous Barbs around, but those aren't me

. I'm actually more the Barbie from fishahoilcs.org and planetcatfish.com, truth be known!

I am not assuming anything. You list it as 104 years, that's pretty much up there in my book.

**Fishnut2** · 04-02-2005, 07:29 PM

Barbie has helped me with support/breeding tips/ and motivation for several of my - now - breeding colonies.

Most recently...my zebra plecos! VERY happy to see you here Barbie.

**Osiris** · 04-02-2005, 08:09 PM

Barbie · 04-02-2005, 10:14 PM
