Now what do I do? I am going to get them out, I need to know what kind of "raising" tank to put them in, I just found them when I took all the rocks out of my cichlid tank where I had 2 plecos. Pot luck? lol. I was complaining my cichlids weren't mating, I guess someone was happy in the tank

Almost any set up will work.
Good filtration, lots of hiding places, and lots of veggies.
Shrimp and other sinking pellets as well.

thanks, I can't belive I have pleco fry I can add it to my list now. I have had guppies, cory cats, cichlids (of coarse) and now plecos
I know thats no big deal to a lot of fish people but for me I have been on cloud nine since I saw the little buggers! I just hope I can raise at least one to full size to say I raised it, just like my first cory cat, guppy, cichlid, etc someone I know has one of them so I can see them. (I have my first 2 cichlids and I will keep my first pleco)

Congrats! They are happy with lots of zucchini, algae and good clean water. They are one of the easiest as they grow fast and aren't picky eaters.

thanks, one thing I can grow plenty of is algae lol, w/ my cichlids I keep the back glass in all of my tanks full of it. I moved the baby plecos to a tank to themselves, and removed all the limestone in it and put a fake log, and some fake plants, and a lava rock in there (the tank where they were born had lava rock all in it).

My mil keeps me stocked w/ zucchini, I hope she isn't putting fertility drugs in it (has to be something because in just a few days this happend and now I have 2 yellow labs holding after feeding my fish her zucchini) if she is I am up the creek w/o a paddle! and not fish wise! no more grilled zucchini for me!

congrats! Our regular bns bred awhile ago...I guess they are the convict of plecos.

Thanks, I have been in shock since I found them, I told my husband to watch the other tank where I have another couple of them (I am pretty sure there is a boy and girl pair the boys have more whiskers than the girls right? If so I might have some more one day w/ any luck I told my mom she wouldn't have any algae problems if I got these guys raised up, that I would make sure she got at least one I forbid her to get a common pleco for her 30g tank, but she can have a bristlenose for it)
