This was quite a surprise. Zebra pleco babies

[sanjay21]

I was siphoning my tank and a little guy just dashed around like a rat. Then I see the pleco babies ��
I counted 4 so far. Sorry, pics are not the easy to capture. This is a pleco only tank.

Believed to be the first in the U.S to breed the L240 pleco I think I can help you out .the only thing not on my log is driftwood I use Malaysian because it's soft and some of my suppliers have change since 2009 but this should help you out with just about any pleco if I was able to breed the L240 it will work for the L46/zebra as they are both omnivores,so good luck and congrats

Thanks Jeanne !
I just went over the link, that is helpful. Looks like you also feed one time a day ? I do the same as well, so far babies are all alive. So they must be eating the food I'm adding.

[Sturiosoma]

Since you have a pleco only tank once a day is fine, you can feed in the evening since their mainly nocturnal
