    Default Most exciting/annoying part of keeping plecos

    Removing all the driftwood, caves, filters, rocks, etc. and catching the little guys. They are pretty fast for fish that spend 90% of their day under wood/in caves doing nothing.

    Spawn #1 should be available around May-June for those who are interested. I'll also have some German super reds in the next month or two .

    Thanks, Sanjay.

    $125 each and at least 6 months old and 1-1/4". Spawn 1 from female 1 hatched in late October, so those should be ready by early May. Spawn 1 from female 2 should be ready late May or early June.

    Knowing the sexes is important. Too many males and not enough space means no breeding. I didn't use any triggers, but they've been spawning since I got them.

    SR's are $10 a piece until they reach 1.5" TL.
