[squid]

Can i breed L316 pleco in 35 gallon tank?
also will they breed if i have some blue eye lemon bristlenose in with them in the tank?

You should have no issues breeding just about any hypan in a 35 gallon tank. I have seen it with hypans and ancistrus breeding int he same tank, but if you truly are looking to breed, it should be a species only tank.

Seen much activity. I transferred them
Into this tank 2 weeks ago. They are on their own. About 5 pcs.
Have not seen
Much of them. Also have not seen them
Eat . Ive had them for more than 1 year . Will it be better to add some
Tankmates like cories?

Patience is the key. Eventuelly they might suprise you by spawning all of a sudden when you least suspect it. For the setup i would add some bottom coverage like a tiny layer of sand. The fish might get more relaxed without reflection of the bottom glass this way. I would replace most of the caves with others which are closed at the end because I haven't seen someone who had succes with the open ones. And I would advice against adding corries. As peacefull as they are the're is a big chance that they eat the fry or accidently kill them by hovering over the bottom. Only fish I would add is some kind of small tetras or pencilfish if you would like to add something. I hope that this helps you. Good luck spawning them

thanks I'll change the caves.
I'll add some sand too
by the way will L316 eat or harm bristlenose fries?
i have another tank where my bristlenose breed. planning to move 2-3 pcs into the l316 tank as it is getting algae on the glass , the Bns are about half an inch?
