Biz's Bn Pleco Breeding Journal!

I don't really have a list at this point. So if I start one now, you're at the top of it lol

If I get the guts to ship!

Oh wow! I figured you would have already had folks lining up for them. That's really exciting for me!!

I bet there are folks on this forum that can help with shipping tips.

Thanks guys!! This has gotta be one of my favorite pics of all time I was only taking a picture of the long fin one and then right as I was about to stop the standard fin one went nose-to-nose with him and they just posed like that for me!

I see a ton of longfin babies in there

I put the dad back in the 55-gallon a couple days ago. The more I think about it, that may be a mistake. Because once they start breeding they do it quite frequently and I do not need another batch right now! Lol I'll have to look in to separating them!

 

So I'm probably going to use Junne s trick with the water bottle trap to round up the pleco babies pretty soon. I want to get most of them into the bare bottom 40 breeder asap. They'll grow much faster in there! I hope it'll be feasible to have angelfish and plecos growing out in there at the same time.... lots of water changes for sure!!!!

So Junne you just used a regular plastic water bottle right? I wish there was a way I could round up only the yellow ones LOL

 

Arg this new format is driving me crazy. I can't find my subscribed threads and then I get on the new app and they are all here. Glad I found this again.

Put me down for one of the yellows

 

I'd love a yellow blue eyes if you do decide to ship add me to the list

 

The babies are so cute!

 

You won't have to ship to me we live in the same state sweet

Oooh! That's not a bad drive at all! I live right by Roseville. You'll have to get one of my angels too have you seen my angelfish breeding Journal? Lol

 

Definitely watching this thread!

I don't suppose you'd ship to Britain?

Thanks for watching I've never shipped a fish and so at this point I don't even know if I'm going to ship. If I get some practice first... and get good and comfortable with it....maybe... I bet it would be incredibly expensive to ship express overseas though!

No I haven't seen your Breeding journal

 

I might be talked into an angel. I'll go find that thread

It's actually fairly easy to ship as long as you keep a few things in mind. With your fish experience I bet you'd have no problem

 

They were getting sick of veggies and clearly excited for algae wafers!

 

So cute!

Oh, and I love that you've added your tank/breeding threads to your signature.

There are a lot of long fin ones in there

Yeah I noticed some others put their threads in their signature and I had to figure out how to do it

 

I seem to have missed some posts! Can you actually tell for sure that they have blue eyes?

They definitely do. It's hard to see it on camera still. But in person I can see it.

 

I just binge read this whole thing! That's awesome and they look amazing! I might be needing a BN Pleco soon so definitely be watching this!

Thanks so much!! I'm feeling proud! Lol!
Thanks for taking the time to read the thread!!

 

I don't know what the "winner!" gold star means but it's a gold star and that's what I rate that

 

I don't remember seeing what you feed the babies. Just the standard pleco food?

So far zucchinI and the occasional HikarI algae wafers. (And the tank algae lol)

 

They are most definitely blue eyed and look at those beautiful long tails

 

Just now finding this thread and I'm in love with those tiny little baby long fin blue eyed bn's!!!! Can I have like I don't know........... ALL OF THEM?!? lol congrats on the cute little guys

 

beautiful. Don't these little buggers need some protein in their diet as well (to grow)?

 

beautiful. Don't these little buggers need some protein in their diet as well (to grow)?

I've been doing veggies and hikarI algae wafers. Should I add some shrimp pellets or something to the diet?

Don't the hikarI wafers have some protein in them though?

 

I thought the veggies was most beneficial, meat was a "filler".

 

My lemon bn just died what size are you going to start re homing them and my my Rachu goldfish had fertiized eggs. But they are spread all over the tank with my other extra large goldfish And I don't have a tank to put the little buggers in or a bubbler

It'll be a couple months probably. Were you planning to keep them with the goldfish? Because bn plecos prefer much warmer water than goldfish.

 

I had my lemon for a year Yeah my tank has always been 72 -74• he seemed to like the temp and had enough to eat he was swimming this morning then I got home and he was dead

Do you have a suggestion on how to get my eggs. Out of the tank I have a gravel sifter and a really fine net. And some of the eggs are on the decorations I'm just wondering about the ones that stuck to the gravel I'd assume it would be the same process as with your angels is why I'm asking I'm on my way to get a small tank for them

 

I would think sifting would damage the eggs. Do you have a turkey baster?

 

I got most of them out by picking up the rocks and hand sifted them and a few have hatched

Should I put a new never used dish sponge over the filter grate And what do I do if the nitrate in my Maine tank is 200ppm I think that is why my lemon bn died
