Fantastic pics

Awesome fish and great pics. Congratulations

Thanks. About 16 cm's. It will grow little bit bigger yet. Hara jerdoni are very cool little catfish.

Yeah it's a different species of cactus pleco to L114 and much rarer

Heres one of my favourite plecos: a Coffeee and Cream Cactus pleco, Pseudacanthicus spinosus, L160. Very rare in New Zealand

Someone on TradeMe was breeding Corydoras metae. Hopefully they might still be breeding them.

Great work on a beautiful species

looks amazing Adrienne

I don't have Geo's but the red heads are stunning

they are often on the importers lists. Redwood Aquatics has them as well.

Yep common bristlenose or GBAs are definitely a great species to start on although you may find them difficult to get of if you breed too many

Thanks. There are plenty of great articles on how to breed fancy plecos on Planet Catfish under each species page. They are a generally little harder to breed than common bristlenose. Some are reasonably straight forward, others are difficult, and some have never been bred in captivity. A couple of good ones to start with would be big band tigers (L140) or Colombian zebra plecos (L129).

The little 201's are 5 weeks old now and are starting to show a hint of their polkadots

Well after eating 6 batches of eggs the male finally managed to rear a handful. Things are looking up.
