Breeding L200s?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
haha maybe ewurm should do that. I never tried doing that with my camera, scared what I might end up with.
 
just make sure you dont have a bright light above it, otherwise you end up with the reflection of it in the water, usually right over the plave your aiming at- the fish
 
nice fresh water sole(?) davo

hey wyldfya nice plecos mate hope they get breeding soon :) BTW,I just finished making some breeding caves for some plecos from bamboo , split in two to make an oval shape and an end piece (for darkness)...
they were cheap , from local hardware($3)and go up in size along each section...you prolly heard of it before but plecos always like a bit of variety... I also found out that common pvc pipe is full of lead and arsenic so you should use blue pvc pipe as its made for household use or there's a logo of a water pot on it (for potable water safe)
 
cool. hope you have a lot of breeding sucess, it was L168's wernt it? and yea fw asian sole. ironically in the pleco section as my gibby started killing it so it had to be moved to a different tank. its ok now though

Actually SCH40 PVC is fine to use, it is human grade for drinking. PVC comes in only a few colors, you are probably thinking of PEX tubing.
 
Found a gold pot of L200s. The owner of this shop is going to work a deal with me. He has 8 L200s most around 5.5" or larger. The big male he had only had 4 spots on his head, I have never seen anything like that before. These plecs look awesome, and I will be getting a few. Also he had a very nice collection of gold nuggets, around 12 all at the 6" size.
 
havin a load of GN's would be cool, but i couldn't get it to work in the same tank. not even 2 females.
 
yes Davo L168's for me atm I have hopes of them breeding soon
also L191 royal a young pair hopefully...dont see the fw sole much but it is avail. they are quite long lived I've heard.. nice oddity thou :)

Wyldfya... sounds like you know whats what in plastic... lots o ppl here in Oz were using common hardware shop (pvc ?) pipe for water storage on their 4wd vehicles for camping etc and getting crook from the arsenic and lead in it ,I never heard of that until recently
