Hi! It was totally unexpected, but last night I found my plecos had babies. I've counted 13 so far, and I'm assuming they are about 1-2 weeks since there are no yolk-sacs, and the fry are about a half inch. They are living in a 29 gallon densely planted tank, with mollies, swordtails, platies, pink danios, yoyo's, and Siamese algae eaters. I figure most of the fry have been eaten by now. :-( Is there anything in particular I should do to care for them? With all the plants and algae they should have plenty to eat, and I feed live tubifex so they have protein when they get big enough.
Water params are normal, no ammonia, nitrite, and slight nitrate. I've encase the intake tube for the filter with mesh so they won't get sucked in. Found two in it before I did this.
Thanks for any suggestions!
