I dont believe they have been bred in an aquarium.Would need more than 75g for an attempt,I would think.They need a riverbank to tunnel into.

hmm ok thanks for the info
guess these guys were WC then?

they breed them in big ponds. A 75g is WAY WAY to small for them, they get very large and territorial.

Yes most plecos that are bred in captivity are bred in large ponds. They simulate a mud bank for them to use.

A natural pond will work work well, saturated mud sides so they can dig tunnels. FWIW, on the small scale it's not very cost effective.
