So I want to try out a pleco species that is wanted, and relatively easy to breed. I have 2 L046 which I revived as a gift and wild LDA72 which are super profilic. I also keep L010a but not breeding them atm.

I have a 20 long and want to breed something that fits in there and is compatible with flame tuxedo guppies. I was thinking L134 or L333. If you have any other suggestions bring them my way!
 
Both the L134 and L333 would be a good fit. I don't have any issues with plecos and guppy predation.

Red bristlenose are popular and easy to trade into a local fish store.

My personal choice would be to get some more zebras but those can take several to mature.

Long fin super red BN. The long fin variety is one that is not as common and they always sell for pretty decent money at auctions. Same with long fin green dragons.

I visited the guy's house that invented the Green Dragons (Greg Sage) Although I didn't buy some..... I got my colony of tiger limias and goodieds from him lol. I live like 25 min from him.

You will be lucky to break even from breeding plecos without a facility the expensive zebras and things cost £75-150 each and take many years to mature and only have a small batch of eggs other pleco varieties would fetch pocket money change
