Not an easy fish to spawn despite the cheap price in the shops caused mainly by the over abundance of this species in the wild.
Most of this genus are quite hard to spawn and due to the again abundance very few have tried.
Normal small plec caves and conditioning with meaty foods before a temp drop and some large clean water changes.
Wood caves are preferred over slate or clay generally and current is also important this fish is a lover of the more turbulent water I believe.
Young are easy to grow on after you get them feeding.
I have spawned L002 and found that once the male got going he would not stop.
Best of Luck

not necessarily Bob, mine bred in a tank with a reasonable flow, but nothing major, plus the cave they spawned in was hidden away and out of the flow completely
I stand corrected I never had a job to get my L002 to spawn I asumed it was the flow rate as he chose a log cave near the power head.
