Farming Zebra Plecos
Posted: 22 Apr 2003, 09:43
i am planning a small ornamental fish farm and zebra plecos are one of the species i am interested in raising.
any advice about them would be would be greatly appreciated, but right now my main concern is; how can they be produced in large quantities when they only lay 10-12 eggs at a time?
i am also trying to decide what kind of sytem to set up for them. so far it sounds reasonable to have the brood stock in glass spawning tanks and then move the fry to growout tanks. i live in the caribbean, the climate is tropical year round so i would be setting up the systems outdoors.
