Hi again, I just want to know what people think is more important for pleco breeding, water flow into a cave or high levels of O2? Thing is I know that some plecs, inparticular hyspancistrus thrive in highly turbulant areas, which means they probably breed easier in a tank with high water flow...but ...

Any up dates on this tank, have you put anything in? Have you had a spawn or any interest in the breeding caves?

Anyone else have plecos that are day active when in groups?
Or strangly social, I'v read that most plecos are active because they are 'monitoring' thier territory?

Hi on various other forums I hear of plecos in general becoming more and more active/visable when kept in groups in particular the smaller sp.
Is this true? does anyone have any experience with this happening in their tanks?

Hi Bas pels, yea im still milling over the idea of a realy spacific biotope for a Gymno, although I might be able to get hold of a jewel 400 or 450 or at an exstream push a 5X2X2 tank :mrgreen: so I might be able to keep a geophagus or Satanoperca after all? :? Anyway thx for the info on the cories ...

Hi i'm planning on doing a Gymnogeophagus biotope so I want to know are there any plecos or cories in the Uruguay river systems that can survive temps between 24 and 18 degrees celcius? Or are there any alternatives?

Hi I have a question, the catElog says L052 comes from the Orinoco basin what kind of habitat is this, eg furnishings, flow, ariation. I can see it been that similar to the xingu in terms of water flow/ariation

Anyone bred these sucessfully? Any tips? Might be able to get a group of largish mixed specimins.

Hi I'v got a question for those of you who have tanks that measure over 4ft ish off the ground. If you have breeding caves along the bottom and you want to "hit" the cave with the current how do you get your powerhead to do that? May sound stupid but I really need to know any photos/ diagrams will ...

Hi again, :D I'v seen some adult L052 for sale and wondering how to breed them, for those who have seen my previous posts I'v been focusing on Hysp. sp, so are these any harder/easyier to breed, I know these are slightly more veggie than hyspancistrus but what about breeding triggers and tank ...

Hi sorry I havn't posted in a while, I'v had some exams on. :( Anyway I'v realised how stupid I sounded when I said that there wasn't enough power soccets, I know why dont I just get a larger extension plug. :lol: Anyway that I'l solve the problem for any hypanistrus sp. So for any of the L no's I'v ...

Hi sorry to ask more questions :( but I'v just realised that the only place I can fit the tank in only has one spare powersoccet for a additional powerhead/sponge filter. Any Idea if just one realy powerful powerhead can provide enough current along with a fluval 402 (i think) External filter+spray ...

Hi, I have a question do your L333's eat wood? Its just that some people say theirs don't touch the stuff?

Hi, to get to the point how do breed this sp. I mean optimum diet, flow rate and direction, water parameters, male to female ratio ect?
I'm asking because to Cat-elog says their easy to breed but gives no guide.

Hi, I'v set up my old jewel 70 as a BN breeder (bought an adult male+female so far their happily eating and seem not to mind each others company :o ) so now i'm been offered a preowned rio 300 n a vision 260 n i'm wanting to build up a colony of Hyspanistrus.sp :D . So i'v looked at the sp. list n ...

Hi again. :D I was planning to start with one of the Ancistrus sp as a 'experience gainer'. :thumbsup: What I plan to is to spawn and raise the fry atleast a half dozen times, with 90% of the fry surviving, before I even attempt breeding a Hypancistrus :thumbsup: . Going by avalibility of species ...

Hi , im just wondering if anyone can give me advise on this. I may be able to get a Jewel Lido120, Jewel 260 or Fluval duo 1000. So for each one what pleco would you recomend for a beginer, plz include tank layout, feeding regime and amount of flow. Sory if i'm asking for two much!
