breeding advice needed

[Adryna88]

Hi everyone,

I'll be getting a couple of colonies and just want to know if any of them can be housed together and not cross breed. The colonies are L168×4, L333×5, L002×4 and peppermints×11.

Thank you

none of them are compatible to crossbreed... but also they arent really compatible fish to house together... 333's are carnivores for a start and will prey on other plecos given the opportunity.... they may cave another species and eat it... also males of each species could well compete for the best caves and kill each other doing so.... to successfully breed plecs its best to have one species per tank..... not saying it cant be done with several species but it also may end up in disaster :thumbup:
