Yeah very nice. I would love to get one and it would be just right for my tank only I am fully stocked with Plecs. It will have to wait for a bigger tank.

I wouldnt say they are easy to breed, the hardest part seems to be finding females

Agree with Aggies :thumb however I happened to read on another forum that this person's L168 Pleco kicked out all the eggs however they still survived until hatching time, total amount of 200+, thats were the thread ended, nil update. So did they survive :dntknw The setup was not that different to the BN's.

Even without a female he is some good looking pleco with some room to grow, to get him ready for his girls. :yes :confused :unsure2:

I have read they just need a bit more of a trigger than BN. For example using some RO water in the mix with a large cool water change as opposed to just a big water change and slight temp drop. I would love to give it a go in the future when I have some more time, space, and money lol.

I too would like to know this. I have a good idea of the private/wholesale price but would like to know if I walk into Aggies how much they would be.

Thats a better price than I had expected actually. If I counted freight from interstate It would be cheaper to get one from you I think. Or at least the same price and much less worry. I still don't have any tank space or money :cry2
