    I have not found the temperature is crazy important as they have bred within the recommended range for king tiger care. They are in a planted and 75 gallon. It’s a community tank with a variety of tetras and other pleco species. Finding confirm females is really the only tricky part.

    GH is around seven. TDS below 200. The cold water/rain simulation trick works well with most of my Pleco‘s.

    Ok. What food did you feed the adults and fry. Currently I feed me bristlenose cucumber, green beans, wafers, and repashy bottom scratcher. I heard that hypancistrus need more protein.

    I have a breeding group of L333. Maybe a dozen successful groups raised from eggs. Happy to answer questions. 

    What temp is best to breed? Best food to feed adults and fry? How many should I get?

    If you could find bristlenose ; super reds, blue eyed lemons, snow whites it may be something financially worth while. That way you can learn the process of shipping fish (if no LFS can't take them). Until you become more comfortable, best of luck. 

    I have been breeding bristlenose plecos for a while. Just really like the look of the other ones and want to try something a little harder.

    Hello, I really have liked the L264, L333, and L134. I plan on breeding 2 of those. I don’t really have space for all 3 currently. Does anybody have any experience breeding any of those 3. How many is best. Where to get them. Thank you

    Hello all. I have a breeding rack I just setup. Im still working on getting the right tank sizes. I will be doing 6 10 gallons with one pair of ancistrus plecos in each. They will all be different kinds. What would be the best way for grow outs. I thought about 2 tanks 2(29g) or 2(40g) and just mix the fry. Any others ideas? I would like to have fry to their own tank I just don’t think that will be possible.
