Re: L333 and L129

24mm diameter should be fine. Multiple caves varying in size (24mm to 36mm diameter) would probably be best for trying to breed. It's more options for them to choose from. 12cm deep should also be fine, but I wouldn't go much shorter than that. Putting L333 and L129 together would not be a great ...

Re: Sailfin Pleco is malnourished?

I would not recommend overfeeding him. What he doesn't eat will only lower the quality of the tank water. You could try feeding him a smaller portion of different things and see what he eats. You can try blanched garden vegetables: cucumber, spinach, peas (deshelled), bell peppers, etc. (Here's a ...

Re: Which pleco to pick?

I noticed in one of the answers you said "stagnant water". Do you have a filter? Or a bubbler? plecos need high oxygenation as they are found in rivers & are also high waste producers

Hard to tell from the picture. Video would be useful. Hypancistrus are carnivores. Pick up some Repashy Foods (though these require some prep) or Carnivore pellets (My Hypans eat Hikari Sinking Carniovore Pellets ). Or you can give him/her some cooked shrimp, using a fork to hold it at the bottom ...

I don't know how likely Scobiancistrus are to interbreed, but hybridization is not recommended & can have bad results, especially if fry sold to the public, because it has the potential to pollute the gene pool. Most on here urge not to mix species capable of interbreeding because it creates a mess ...

I've had L129 & they don't appear to be L129. They do look like LDA019 but I'm not an expert. LDA019 only grow about 3" while L333 grow to about 6". Your one male looks to be mature so if he's still under 3" they're probably LDA019. Also, might want to check on the one in the cave, if it had a ...
