I just noticed my Albino plecos' have eggs and I was wondering if it's ok to vacume the bare bottom of the tank or should I leave him alone. He was faning some eggs just over a month ago and I think I spooked him because the next day they were all gone. This is the first time he's bread for me but not the first time he has bread. Although It has been a while since he's done this. I believe its been close to a year.

I included some picture of the last batch of eggs.

For now I would just leave the tank alone. If it is starting to get foul for some reason just use a siphon near the surface to do a small water change. Add the replacement water slowly.

Thanks Shane I will do that. I have even covered part of the tank with a towel and I am keeping the lights off. I don't want to set him off like last time now that I have them spawning 30 days apart.
