Plecos galore!

Post by 3bdesigns »

I snapped a few shots of the plecs in my 55gal tank in my bedroom....and before anyone gets excited, I know that there are WAY too many in there...which of course keeps me cleaning my tanks all the time...

My question is...in the photos are two big spotted guys. They are each about 7-8" long. How do I tell if I males, females, or one of each? I'd like to move them to my 75 gallon tank, but I have an adontis male in that tank and he's pretty territorial and I don't want anyone getting hurt. The population in the tank now all get along just fine - no fights or problems, but I want to spread them out to give them more room.

There are also a ton of longfin BN fry in there. Not really fry anymore, they are about 4 months old now. My LFS said they would buy them off me...so I'll be reducing the population by 28 real soon....

The spotted ones look like my Rio de Para plecos- L75. There's some good breeding information in the cat-elog.
