Its those randy males. They don't seem to understand, no means no.I think any L numbers are really aggressive at spawn time
Not sure at all. She was a bit small to sex, but I believe she was a female.pramirez wrote:

No, they even not need to be in the same water but if they share the same water column they will also know there are a male or a female present in the same aquarium, they will also know when they are ready to breed even without touching each other.Bas Pels wrote:I only wonder: do loricarids need contact between the sexes before developing eggs?
The male use his teeth shewing on the females back, I think that belongs to the foreplay but if the female not are ready to spawn and the male refuse to let her go he will damage her a lot.racoll wrote:Is most of the damage inflicted with teeth, or with the abrasions from the spines?
