F1 Plecos

Post by hydrapleco »

Don't really know to much about keeping F1 plecos. Here are my questions:

Are there any cons of keeping F1 plecos?
Are F1 plecos less colourful compared to non f1 plecos?
Do F1 have shorter lifespans compared to non f1?
Can F1 plecos breed?

F1 plecos just means the first offspring from wild caught fish..... F2 is second and so on. If anything they would be the same to keep and breed or easier as they are used to tank life!
