    Pleco Breeding?

    I am thinking of breeding Pleco but can't find any good websites to go on to find out how to breed them. Does anyone know how to breed them or know a good sight?

    i would look at planetcatfish.com they have tons of info on lots of different plecos. they would probally need a cave or a breeding cone such as those found on plecocaves.com.

    Bushynose plecos or bn's are relatively easy plecos to breed. You may be able to find a site with the info you are looking for on aquarank.com.
    There are all kinds of different bn's; common, albino, marble, longfin (butterfly).

    Actually, you can find tons of information about plecos including breeding info on www.planetcatfish.com. This is where I went when I was having trouble breeding my bn's.
