Fish Folk Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 I’ve never seen Plecos go at it this frequently. Must be doing something right…. But sheesh!! Gone be a TON of them in here. This is the third batch of eggs in just about 45 days… Maybe it’s all this I’m feeding… 2 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gardenman Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 It does make you wonder why they're so expensive to buy in fish stores when they spawn like rabbits. Raising the fry is absurdly easy also. Local petshops sell Super Reds for around $30 each for little ones (give or take a bit.) I've got about sixty (or so) now from various spawns. They're easier to raise than nearly any other fish I've ever raised. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But usually once of sufficient size, they’re bulletproof. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HH Morant Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Great video, Fish Folk. The acaras look great. You are single-handedly increasing the world's EBA population! I like the shot of the baby plecos sitting on the adult. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CalmedByFish Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Did you accidentally pour in an aphrodisiac with the water conditioner? 😂 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lefty o Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 in my experience with bristlenose, if they have a dark room to go hide in and do the naughty, you are going to get fry. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy's Fish Den Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 I had a pair of super red bristlenose before that the male would constantly be on eggs or wrigglers if I didn't pull the caves out of the tank. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
