how do you sex these guys? as i was hoping to compare them at the shop before i buy?

also how easy are they to breed as i cannot find too many articles on them?

all help appreciated

Check for L260 sexing on this site. They're not exactly the same, but it shouldn't be a million miles off.

I've noticed they aren't really that prominent in the odontodal department.

Here's a male. His interp. odontodes have grown in a bit more than the picture shows, but again, not too impressive:



Fem:

hi thanks for the good start thanks.

but does no one breed these in captive yet? as i cannot find info through google.

You beat me too them I ended up with the Queen A's instead. They got a second lot in and they were gone before I had a look at them even, guess you snooze you loose when it comes to fancy plecs.

Yes, I believe they have been bred before.

I was told the shipment that came into NZ recently
L260's
L128's
your Choch Zebras
snowflakes
gold nuggets (small spot ?)

were all captive bred in Germany, hence the better than average size (much better) and the slightly higher than normal prices.

i didn't find them too bad. and i have to buy them through a shop at RRP!

sorry i didn't buy the book off you ( i enquired about the pleco books)too as these came up instead!

I bought five and am pretty sure i got 4 males and 1 female .Pitty no one in nz breeds any plecs seriously so sad and im only second person here too breed L52.At least more L46 are getting imported now but still ridiculous prices like $400.

"sorry i didn't buy the book off you ( i enquired about the pl*co books)too as these came up instead!"

Hey no probs, breed those choch zebs and Ill do you a trade

I ended up with 5 Queen A's (L260) looks like 3 males and 2 females so maybe given time Ill get them to breed.

I had to pay RRP too ;) Worth it though, the fish were all in excellent condition, not very often we get a chance to buy these guys so have to take advantage when you can.
