Hi,

i have 5 Adult L316 plecos which i am hoping to breed, so far they have not bred again
planning to add 5 1 inch Bristlenose to their tank,

do you guys see any problem with adding the Juvy bristlenose?
will L316 harm small Bristlenose?


thanks.

No problem, I keep young BN in all of my breeder setups. Just know that BN grow quickly and that once they're mature they will start competing for caves.

Thanks planning to mix them with my l316 only while they're small.
once they're near adult size. they'll have their own tank

Foodwise it's absolutely wrong. Ancistrus should be fed on a herbivore diet. They will eat the carnivores foods which you feed to your Hypancistrus. The Ancistrus will end up in trouble some how.

Depending on your feeding habits, jac has a point. I feed a very wide variety of foods to all my Pleco groups. Never had issues with BN in any of my Hypancistrus or Peckoltia breeding tanks.

thanks, I've been dropping Hikari algaE wafers into the tank.
my L316 are shy and i seldom see them, but i drop Hikari shrimp pellets for them at night.
Won't Hypans eat algae wafers?
I also have Indian almond leaves in the tank.
