ok thanks alot! . I looked at the females belly again today and shes looking alot bigger that she was! . I think i'll just leave them together for abit longer and feed lots of good foods and if they dont breed in about 2 weeks, i will take out the female and make her plump again

I have 2 bristlenose plecos (1m/1f) and they have bred sucessfully twice. The first time they were in seperate tanks, and i introduced them together when the female was plump, they bred within a few days. Second time i did the same thing.

They were £29.00 I have completely forgotten what they had called them, so can anyone please help me indentify them? ...

Sorry for being Off topic, i just had to point that out
