so I've started this project a looong time ago....
and just last week i purchased an ro filter...i tried desperately without one....just thought the ro was the missing link.....she was gravid.
so long story short, i came home from work, started draining my tank, about to set the ro goin' (it's the fifth day of their monsoon week), and i see a little baby pleco!
haha, so....I'm pretty sure the eggs take a while to hatch, so they must've actually bred sometime right before i ordered the ro filter!
what the hell. i looked in the cave, and sure enough, there's a bunch of baby L134, can't tell how many. there is one though, on the other side of the 75 gallon tank, that is chillin right by the intake filter(it is spunged) right by the 5-6 inch royal i have. and the royal is cool with it! the royal even tries to shove out the small L182 when they get too close, but this little fish is being put up with by the royal....
should i move the little guy back into the cave?
i'd rather let it explore, good for him, for escaping the cave, i'm pretty sure it'll be able to find food over by the filter intake, it can always just get on the sponge and eat something.
so what do i do for food?
i've got algae wafers, mysis shrimp...and i feed them all kinds of vegetables, especially sweet potato, green lettuce, and zuchini. they will probably eat zuchini, right?
