When are you gonna get back to it MAN you’ve been gone for a while now 😂

Thanks for your videos my bn pleco spawned eggs yesterday and they dad kept leaving them so I've put them in a breeder box with airline and air stone but since moving the eggs the male is still trapping the female is this normal?

Yeeehaa

i do a hybrid method. i keep the eggs with Dad until wiggler stage then I pull the wigglers. :)

So the secret to breed them is to already have them and breed them.. good advice.. 🙄

Just lost one of my baby plecs I've had for 2 months I thought it could just survive off algae in tank feel awful😢

Where u get dat sponge from

Mine been in a tank for 2 weeks nothing have 2 males 4 females the females are super large, bigger than the ones in this video, I feel like they will never breed :(

We don't have those package foods here in Dubbo, NSW, Australia and now my Plecos have gone off the pellets we have and I don't know what to do. They won't touch veggies either. They live off whatever algae is growing on the tank and decore.

unlucky- pigment nots great, but cool fish

what type of plant do you have in the aquarium? And you don't get snails attached to those plants do you? Please let me know.

Are these more active or less active than regular bristlenose? Also are they smaller or larger? Cheers!

Hi mate, I’m a new subscriber, great video. Was wondering what were the tank dimensions you were breeding them in. Looks like a 4footer but I’m after the front to back depth and height . Thanks for sharing Regards Duzzy🇦🇺

You still alive

Nice tank!❤

Had there been updates to this series? Would love to find out how you got on

Zebra pleco's here are $300

Not a fan of the northfin kelp wafers, they pollute my water qucikly with all the little bits that come off. I might get the sera catfish chips and the bug bites sinking formula.

These are my favourite fish, they’re pretty reclusive and smaller than other bristlenose plecos but they are just so beautiful. They do look like stars in a night sky and when they do appear I can’t stop looking at them…more pleasure with these than any other freshwater..thanks for this video!

Did you find a cover or hood for the tank? Or just make one?

How are they now?

I’m from Iowa too

👍👍

Ok so for weeks my plecos have not been eating they have been picky!! They hate bell pepper, carrots, green beans (canned and fresh), and broccoli! Tried mushrooms and tofu and they are actually eating!😂 I have some picky buggers

Awesom video. Can you tell how the cutting machine is called? Maybe link to purchase? Or specific model? Thanks mate

My pleco has only a beta 3 corydon so 5 total so my water always green algae but it’s clear when I change 3 days later changes up 😮 lighting ??

All the fish seem to love those mushrooms woo.

Have you still got these all this time later?...This is one of my favourite strains of Syndontis!

My make is on a piece of drift wood near the eggs but not close enough, but is still fanning them??? The eggs are behind the filter and idk what to do. They were all yellow on Tuesday, its now Thursday and some are either broken of have gone clear???

I really enjoyed your workshop. Where do you get a pleco feeder. We dont have alot of suppliers here in Washington, Mo. Nor alot of places nearby. We have found that we love our plecos and and slowly decreasing our other fish, and just going to pleco. I love them!!!

Do you have a book?

I let a lot of biofilm grow before I got my juvenile bristle nose. They won't take anything I add for food. Number 1 should be keeping some wood in a tank to add or replace when they clean off what they have.

Süßwassertang. The ß isn't a capital b, it's an "eszett", which can be written in English with two S's. Without the German characters, it would be written Suesswassertang. Sweetwater (freshwater) seaweed.

Man, do you cook cucumber before you give 'em, or you just throw cucumber in to the aquarium?

"Morning Wood" they knew what they where doing!!! And im here for it!!!

The main thing I wanted to know was when do you start feeding them and what do you feed them in the breeder box? What an omission...

Northfin is a very messy food unless you have a bare bottom tank. Don't use it unless you are willing to do the water siphon more often. I will say most tabs are messy. Fresh veggies are best.

Thanks for the information. I just bought the same one and you explained what the "gate" piece was, I couldn't figure that out. I like your poly fill idea better. Thanks!

Hey Jeff, I only had 1 female bristle nose in my 45-gallon. I've had her a couple months, she may have been eggbound, but I removed her since I saw she was dead in the tank, and I said wow her belly is swole and slightly pushed on it and bout 20 little eggs popped out and I have the eggs in a breeder box but idk what to do since I have no male and not sure if the eggs will even survive. Should I immediately go get a male bristlenose and put him in the breeder box?? All other factors are a go. Just not sure what to do next. Thanks!

Thats such a nice idea!!! Greetings from Germany

Congrats that was awesome

Do you steam or boil the veggies before putting them in the tank?

My rubber nose pleco swims none stop will not hide at all even in the dark

I think the long fin and the fat momma both layed it looked like two different clutches!!!

Back in the late 1990's I remember zebra pleco's selling for $30. I had a chance to buy some a couple of months ago at $200 a pop. They are not endangered. I have one of the best pleco breeders in the world near me and he's been to the river they are collected from. He said they're everywhere in the river.

Pleco is so beautiful. I like them very much
