Re: Monte dourado?

Thank You for Your opinion :). I think also that it is L411 more likely than L260. Plecos are about 12 cm long. I think that they are little shorter than L66.

Re: Monte dourado?

Thanks Bas and Pez :). Bas, it would be truth. Hybrid have heterosis and they use it with domestic animal breeding. The animals (and plants) grow faster, because they have many genes heterozygote (not homotsygote). It is nice to hear that this plecos You have and in shop. It is big risk that they ...

Re: Monte dourado?

Thank You Your point of view. I hope also that they are monte dourados, not hybrid. Sometimes hybrids are fertile, but often they are sterile or unhealthy. Babies grow very fast and are healthy.

Monte dourado?

What species of pleco is this? It is pure pleco or hybrid? Is it monte dourado L411 or hybrid? I have two, male and female and they got babies. I do not hope hybrids and I was suprised, that they got babies.

Dosing in food has long been a source for discussion. Using gelling foods sound perfect, but the heat from activating the gelatin can destroy the meds.
