I have lost two male in the last 3 months. I get a spawn out then about a month later I find my male dead. Is it possible the female is killing the males?

Re: Albino bn pleco males dead.
Without any background information at all about the tanks, I doubt any guessing about the possible cause will really be valid. At the top of this forum there is a sticky that requests answers to specific questions. If you could fill them out, we'd be happy to try to help. Thanks!

Re: Albino bn pleco males dead.
Any fish can kill another fish, but the odds are not good that's what is happening here. It's not at all common. Without more information it's just going to be very hard to tell. I know your tap water is quite hard. How long has the tank been up? Those questions in the thread really do serve a purpose, whether they're terribly inconvenient to fill out or not.
