When I stop being lazy, i'll post a diagram of pleco anatomy. but that is down the road, and when I get the pics from fabdad.

ya I picked one up from luffman, they're sweet. my next will hopefully be a zebra, but I haven't found one yet.

Hard part about zebras are the cost not really finding them. I hear about so many people breeding them. Check aquabid, they probably will have one. Exoticfinds has them also, and will ship.

i can never decide if it would just be worth buying the pair to breed. would be kinda gutted if they didnt though

 

[WyldFya]

Not worth it. Go after something more unique, it will fetch more overall, if you can get a good breeding group.

those claws are cool!
I got all my plecos at under an inch.1 common 2 albino brislenose and 4 brown brislenose.theyre cool when tiny just have to be careful my little ones are all in fry tanks.
want a starry night brislenose if I can find one at a reasonable price

 

[davo]

you may find a dead bristlenose/s at some point. males will always sniff out other males from the females and usually kill them. you may get them to breed, they are considered one of the easiest, if not THE easiest pleco to breed in a home aquaria

Great choice. The Starry or white seams are awesome plecs. Watch out for aggression, as davo said, the males will be territorial sometimes towards other species of pleco also. TONS OF HIDING SPOTS.
