So, yesterday morning I noticed different behaviour from my 2 plecos. The female was in his cave, under him. Usually, the female is on one side of the tank, and the male on other. I already knew that it HAD to mean something, and they have reached the breeding age. They were definitely conditioned- lots of veggies fed over the past 3-4 weeks. I wouldn't have thought anything about the female being filled with eggs- she was always fat from the beginning. Anyway, this morning, I woke up, and went to check on them, and turn on the light. Right away, I noticed a cluster of orange eggs! Daddy pleckie is fanning away!
I am going to set up the 10 gallon breeder tank for him, his cave, and the eggs- the loaches and other fish are being nosy, and I bet since the eggs are near the front of the cave the moment he turns around, or gets distracted others will go right in, and have a snack.
That is all for now- updates coming soon!
Any time now!!!
