Hi dead_serious.

Having not bred any of these fish I am not in the best position to comment, but from what I gather....

L204, L260, L124 have all been bred by members of the forum and there is a good amount of data available. I would say these are the easiest.

L027 and LDA33 are large in adult size, and breeding is unlikely to be practical in a reasonable sized tank.

LDA05 may require blackwater, as it is from the Negro drainage. Spawning reports for this fish are less numerous, but perhaps "regular" Hypancistrus techniques will work.
