Anyone with Brachyrhamdia?

[Mol_PMB]

OK, so they're not strictly plecos but they are South American catfish.
I am fascinated by Brachyrhamdia, especially the Corydoras mimics.

Now, I've had a B.meesi for just over a year, and recently bought a B.imitator.
But now I have acquired 10 juvenile B.marthae.

I'd like to have a go at breeding them. Any tips? Have Brachyrhamdia ever been bred in captivity? Normally it's really hard to get a group together, so is that the reason for no breeding reports or do they need some tough-to-reproduce triggers?

Many thanks,

Paul

They're active little fish
Guess no-one else on here has them then?

I'm thinking of setting up a dedicated breeding tank for them, if I can get some ideas about what it should look like!

they look cool what is their expected maximum size do you think ???

They're about 100mm fully grown.
A little bigger than the Corys they resemble but not much.

Here's my adult B.imitator which is a mimic of Corydoras melanistius.
