vapo Posted June 30, 2005 Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 Hey guys and gals. Just wanted to know how to determine the sex of my plecos. Common ones, brown, spotty, stripey. Any info would be much appreciated, as I can't seem to find much anywhere else. Thought I'd look it up first, before I asked a supid question, but here I am, asking the people I probably should have in the first place :oops: . Cheers, Vapo.

kylefish02 Posted June 30, 2005 Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 no point you cant breed them and ways of sexing them are unknown cheers Kyle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vapo Posted July 1, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2005 Really? Where do they get them from then? Are they imported? If people can breed B/Ns, howcome not common plecs? Cheers, Vapo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kylefish02 Posted July 1, 2005 Report Share Posted July 1, 2005 common plecs are bred but you cant in a tank as they need mud to spawn in, as they dig tunnels in the mud and thats were they breed and people in asian countries breed them in big dams and i believe a person in Austrailia does aswell.The reason for breeding B/N's is that they only grow to max 15cm yet a full grown plec can get around 35cm+ and also the fact that they need mud and Bn spawn in anything cheers Kyle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vapo Posted July 1, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2005 Thanks for the excellent info Kyle. Bummer. Might have to get some more tanks for B/Ns. Up to three tanks already, got our first aquarium about three weeks ago!! MTS here we come!!! Cheers, Vapo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
