Like the title says more fry ! This has me re-thinking what I have been doing when I set up a bn tank for breeding. My usual set up is a 10 gl. with a small cave,sponge filter and a heater set to 72 deg and 1 male and 2 female bn plecos. I have had really good results with this combo.

These fry are in a 30 gl. tank with 2 sponge filters, several clay flower pots a small cave and a temp of 83 deg. the big difference other than 10 deg. warmer water is there are at least 35 pleco's in this tank that I have been growing out to sell as trio's.

Congrats! If only I could ever be that lucky...
 
Sweet! nice pics. Good luck with the frys. BN pleco will breed like crazy.
 
Thanks Yeah they are like rabbits only with fins. I hit the 1K sold mark last november. I don't know if there is a lot of luck to breeding bn pleco's just clean water and a shopping cart full of frozen french cut green beans.
