Yup its ABN.

Yes i go by many names, it's also on cichlidforum and fishforums.net, and everywhere lol. I enjoy spreading pics. Aquabid that was a whole nether story, but we're not going to get into that, as wasnt me selling the pleco's but another seller.

Wait, are you seeing this photo on aquabid again? i've only come across one auction but that was like a month or two ago..

Jonno · 10-16-2005, 06:11 AM

no it was awhile ago when i saw it, then i went on fishaholics and saw it there but do they always spawn in that clay pot thing because i would really like to get one of those!

**Osiris** · 10-16-2005, 07:26 AM

Ah, yea, here's more pics of the pair:

Yea, actually i didnt have the right cave before, like lil over a month ago, so i asked few other pleco breeder's around here, gave me contact for caves, not even a week later after adding the new cave in they bred! Been breeding in this cave ever since, leaving clump of eggs in the back bottem corner. Here's the contact that i got my caves from:

Try him out, they work!

Georgia Peach · 10-16-2005, 08:18 AM

nice pics!

**Fishnut2** · 10-17-2005, 12:32 AM

Ya,
Nice pics Malawian Pro! The common name for those caves are terra cotta caves. They do come in different sizes. The 4"-5" size is the best for BN. They should sell for between $4 to $6. A clay flowerpot works just as good. You can get those for under $1...but you have to notch it out.

Jonno · 10-17-2005, 03:48 AM

going to look for a place in the uk where i can get some of those

sonofbreeder · 10-17-2005, 04:27 AM

just get some flower pots and a lil saw from a hardware store works great, my dad has them all over in his fish room i did have a huge flower pot for my oscar it was so cute watching him just peak out of it when someone comes in the room but yeah just get some flower pots and a small hacksaw works great

Jonno · 10-17-2005, 05:39 AM

i really like the caves i got flower pots a pipe in there but they never use it so i might order one of them caves because they are cool

**Fishnut2** · 10-17-2005, 12:22 PM

The terra cotta caves used to be quite common. They are harder to find now, due to the manufactor requiring a minimum order of a full case...and not replacing any breakage.

**Osiris** · 10-17-2005, 12:34 PM

Yea, exactly, hence why we've turned to private makers like the guy i listed, he attends the GCCA has alot of caves..

Doodles · 10-31-2005, 12:57 PM

Wow, that's awsome! I LOVEEEEE your plecos! It's it pretty rare for plecos to breed?

**Osiris** · 10-31-2005, 01:11 PM

not really as long as u have the ideal setup for them then not at all, some are harder to breed then others.

fishboy · 11-07-2005, 10:20 PM
