L370,Ancistrus sp. `Puerto Ayacucho` or Ancistrus sp. `Portel` ?

lol have you seen a pik of mr plecos yet?

LOL, no :lol:

hahaha good luck guessing then

8) lol aprophecy yeah pics coming when they hatch , should be soon i hope

definetly two sorts of pairs one has two white stripes at end of tail one at top and one at bottom the other has a solid white line at end of tail but niether has white on dorsal fin one pair looks alot like L100

Are both pairs in the same tank? If So are you sure that they bred with their own?

And does the other pair look like l327 or l370? :lol:

yeah both in same tank but definetley bred with their own coz i saw the female in with the male by the way he is sittting on a huge batch of eggs probably 50 at least well im hoping anyway ill go look at yr numbers but i dont think so

edit

did they hatch?

yeah they did on their third batch of eggs as of now still trying to find a suitable L number for them i know they are now comming in as "blue white spotted plecs " but alas no Lnumber have about thirty to fifty babies plus eggs but dont have a camera that does them any justice will hope to get some shots up soon as they grow

take shots of the parents!

That would be a big ask - there are so many of them and they don't exactly come to the front of the tank and say 'here I am, shoot away'.

Mr Plecs setup is great, each tank set up differently, no wonder they breed so well.
