L134 breeding question

[bornasghost]

ok, so my L134's, male, female have been in the cave for almost 1 month. do you think I should just kinda shake them out?
she hasn't laid eggs yet, and I'm just not sure she will for the male in there. there's another male in another cave, and he looks a lot bigger than the other one, so I'm thinking she should get in there with the other one...cause she Is gravid...and I think she might not be getting food.....
what should I do?

Leave them be. They may or many not lay eggs. What are your parameters, and how big are the plecos?

 

[bornasghost]

there are each about 4 inches, but the male in the cave is slightly smaller than the others.
u dont think the female is maybe not getting enough nutrition?

 

[WyldFya]

4" TL or SL. If TL, then they are too young. If SL, then you just need to wait.

I'd leave them. I'm guessing it's their first time. They'll probably end up breeding.

 

[bornasghost]

TL? SL?

It's their first time breeding and mine also. ha.

TL? SL?

It's their first time breeding and mine also. ha.

TL: Total length. The total amount of lenght of the fish.
SL: Side length. The length of the tip of nose to the beggining of the tail.

but I think L134 only get about 5 inches tops.
Im just worried the female's not getting healthy diet.

She's fine. Some people have had fish stay in caves for more than 6 weeks.
