they can breed from about 8" however they're very very fussy/difficult and territorial when breeding times happen. Any other plecs around can disturb the male and he'll kick (or more likely eat) the eggs. Mine don't seem to like man made caves but I made some "natural" caves by stacking rocks together and they seem to like those.
