Conditioning plecos

Post by Rantosa »

What should i be feeding my L260 and L066 to get them in condition for breeding?
At the moment i am feeding them tetra colour bits, nutrafin carnivour pellets, blood worms (once a week), discus tucker (mainly contains beef heart blood worms, and veges once a week), and shrimp pellets.
Whats else should i feed them so that i can condition them nicely for an attempt at breeding them :?:

You dont need to feed them anything else then you do, I would not give beef heart to any fishes and dont recomend that either.
Keep the water on top and give them suitable caves to breed in, and of course both sexes. Both these species breed in a wide range of water parameters as long the oxygen level is high and the nitrogen level is low.
