What plecs do you have?

true but its a tiddily little thing..bulldog plec or summert.. not like the monsters i used to have :cry:
Interesting that a lot seem to have L066.
I have 8 of those which might breed for me next year as I have been growing them for a while now.
In the same tank I have several LG6 whiptails (enigmanni or similar) who are breeding fools and are starting to over populate tank with fry. It does look pretty cool tho in the half light when they all come out to the front like a mob of cattle to graze.
Near that tank I have a pair of L204 adults and a juvie one (male I think).
I haven't managed to trigger them to breed yet but the male has a very hairy bottom.
Below them is a trio of L046 who basically are just freeloaders and are spoiled rotten. If they actually bred I would be over the moon but I have no idea how old they are and I have had them for a year.
2male/1 female orangespot bns and a female L121 called dozer (cause she digs up my gravel) in the next tank. One male might have to be moved as I think they spend more time arguing over who's gonna get the girl than actually thinking about breeding.
Moving to the next fish room I have 5 L201 juvies. Gosh these guys grow slow and they are as fat as mud too.
Pair of common bns in the syno tank. Female is way bigger than the male and won't have anything to do with him.
3 tier 4fts and top tier has a pair of L104 which I haven't been able to breed yet. There are 8 royal whiptails also and several juvi fry. They just spawned 84 fry in one go and I am feeding them on agar and spirulina mix.
Below those are 5 adult L002. They currently have about 50 fry of varying ages which I keep in a large fry saver. They are my first ever real pleco fry bred.
Bottom tank is mixed short fin and longfin albino bristlenose juvies. I really have to sort those out one day as some are getting up to 5cm.
Onto the major fish room which used to be a storage room till I had a clean out. The nicest display is my 2 tier 6fts with 4 L075 leopard plecos and a young L203. The leopards aren't quite old enough to get into breeding but maybe one day they will.
The bottom tank atm is 6 L202 and a lone huge Contradens. I am planning to swap the syno's into the 6ft and the L202 into the 4ft syno tank one of these days. The L202 should be breeding but they spend too much time arguing so I may have to split them up a bit.
Two 3 tier 4ft stands with a couple of 2fts on the top and middle levels. I have two 4fts on order to replace these four smaller tanks. One has two juvi L260 and another has an adult male L260 and a young Juvi.
The other 2 tanks are mixed longfin and shortfin albino and common bristlenose fry. Sooner or later I have got to sell something and stop hoarding all the fry.
Bottom tank is 6 L397 adults who have just started to breed. I have around 20 fry in a frysaver. These fry are very prone to bloating but if I can keep them going for 3 weeks they should be ok.
The other 3 tier has 2 2fts on the top. One is my cherry shrimp tank and the other has longarm native fw prawns who love me dropping snails in to eat.
Below that is 4 male peppermint bristlenoses of which I will sell off 3 and keep one.
Bottom 4ft is 6 younger L202's. Just raising them up to see if there are any cool females in the batch.
Across the room is a 2 tier of 4fts. Top is a pair of longfin common bristlenoses which are slowly overpopulating their tank with fry. The pair throw 4 types of fry. Shortfin and longfin common fry as well as shortfin and longfin in the albino form.
Bottom tank is 7 juvi L333. They are cute little guys and seem no trouble at all to keep. I have about 30 Boesmani rainbow fry I am raising in the tank as well.
Next door to those is a fully planted 4 foot tank. Trying my hand at some new plants in there. The tank has a colony of 6 L134 leopard frogs who are almost mature enough to breed. Hoping I have 2 males and 4 females.
Beside that tank is another 2 tier 4ft setup with 10 juvi common bristlenoses (just a newly cycled tank), and below that is a trio of peppermint bristlenoses who may breed in the next couple of months as they are almost mature.
If anyone has a female L260 as a girl friend for my male L260 let me know.

currently have 4:
2 clown plecs, panaque maccus
1 L081 gold nugget
1 L201
stood in front of a tank at the lfs today for about 20 minutes trying to justify paying $90 for an L047, but it's a gorgeous fish and has been in the tank for a month or so with a full belly, so tomorrow i'll probably get it. and still waiting for the lfs to order me an L200. after i get those two, i'll probably be in the market for a couple L260s. this is a terrible addiction.
