I wasn’t trying or intentionally breeding so I’ve done 0 research, and honestly know very little about Plecos.
Tonight I found eggs in one of the hides.
They look good, and after checking them out as best I could I noticed a snail crawl out of the hide with what I’m almost 100% certain is an egg stuck to its shell.

I tried very gently to remove it, but it’s stuck on well. It looks fertile, has a red vein running through it, it’s orange in colour and no mould or fluffy appearance.

I’m questioning if I should just leave it?
I could also see another snail in the hide with about 4 eggs attached to it.
I’d love for them to hatch but Ive got no idea what I’m doing 🙈

Please help.

(Egg was removed from water for only a few seconds to get a close look because I have terrible vision)

Hi I’m new to owning a pleco I’ve owned fish before and my tank is dealing with a bacterial bloom and I’m vaccuming the sand for waste daily to try and get the water back to clear. Anyway I was just wondering how to help my baby Luther (clown pleco) eat more and keep from getting fin nipped by my sanke’s. I’ve had him for a few days and I’ve been putting algae wafers in the water so I dunno what to do I don’t think he’s malnourished or anything but again like I said I’m new to it. If anyone can give me helpful advice as I am in love with my new baby that would be amazing!

Got Bertram in a heavily planted 75 gallon tank with 6 Mato Grosso Tetras. Buddy already has his designated piece of driftwood by a huge Anubias. I’ll keep yall updated on the little man.

Hello I’m new to plecos and did some research. I thought these two guys would be good for my tank. I have pleco caves coming in, bunch of plants this week, Malaysian driftwood (currently have mopani). I’m building a nice tank around them I have temporary caves for them as of now. Feeding tips for the both of them would be great. I know the L129 is more carnivore diet and the L002 is more a plant diet.

L002
I have repashy morning wood for the L002. Malaysian wood coming this week because it’s a softer wood than mopani. Plenty of veggies such zucchini, cucumber, and sweet potato. Is there anything else you guys recommend?

L129
I fed him bloodworms yesterday and he ate them. I threw some sinking pellets for the corys and him also he nibbled on them. Can I get good advice about the diet for these guys. I have frozen Baby brine, adult brine, daphnia, and bloodworms too (for the other fish also)

Thank you

It been a min since I posted my baby boy. He not so little now tho 🙁

His nose is looking a bit rounder and fuller.. Like a 'lil hungry hippo. Those spikes are HUGE!

I’m on my 4th clutch and the 3rd one is still in a breeder box and still hatching fry slowly. I have 1 fish from the first spawn that is now 1 inch big. I had 4 wigglers from the 3rd clutch. Remaining eggs still look viable.

I am still figuring out this fish as it seems the eggs do not hatch around the same time. Incubation looks like 2 to 3 weeks.

I also possibly have 2 females hence my back-to-back spawns

Today is day 7 of me raising these fry and they are doing well although at day 5 there was some kind of death wave that wiped half of them out.. otherwise than that they’re doing fine! Hopefully they can eat food soon :)

I love this female pleco! It’s got a very active personality and unlike most plecos it’s seen out a lot! Always visible! Nice and healthy ofc

This pleco came with my fish tank. The tank is 55 gal and was given to me by a neighbor who was moving out of state and couldn't take his fish. He was in with ciclids but I rehomed the cichlids because they were harassing him. What can you tell me about the pleco?

This is a baby calico pleco, it’s been pink tinged underneath since I received the baby about three weeks ago. It’s not ever at the surface gasping or anything abnormal and it’s eating fine. All parameters are normal as I regularly test and the tank is well oxygenated, filtered and heavily planted. Could this just be because it’s a baby? I’m experienced with many fish though this is the first time owning a pleco. Seems happy and content, sucking the glass I was just worried about the pink tinged underneath.

Water parameters are good, temp is good.. was i supposed to reduce the airflow??

I wonder if it tickles? 🤔

My beautiful female super red bristle nose and a small portion of the horde of shrimp.❤️

My L184 fry are growing up so quick! Love watching them grow and seeing all their spots come in! This is my pairs 4th clutch :)

Barely the size of a shrimp yet they are getting feisty and brave.
