    Tom, I think I am over feeding my plecos and corydoras. Just suggesting a video outlining how, when and how often you feed your fish might be helpful for a lot of folks. I think everyone overfeeds when they are beginning and learn to dial it back after some hard lessons. I feel like my grandma trying to fatten up the grandkids over here…

    Didnt know plecos had a breeding season, but I find it interesting that last Saturday, when i was cleaning out my old aquarium to move everything to a larger tank in a new location, my two bushynose plecos apoarently had some eggs around and i had some babies i had to scoop up in a turkey baster. Now i got about 29 multi colored baby pleco in a nursery tank.

      The more domesticated variants can be made to spawn on a regular schedule. I have BN plecos spawning almost every month with males doing double clutches if two females try to drop clutches close to each other.

    If you are breeding bristle nose,may I suggest tofu they love it. It’s high in protein (soybean) and a good amount of calcium.

    • @JAM_PLAYS
      @JAM_PLAYS 7 месяцев назад

      do you need to boil it first? also does it clouds the water? how high in protein do we need for plecos usually? 50% and above?

    • @JohnWood-tk1ge
      @JohnWood-tk1ge 7 месяцев назад

      @@JAM_PLAYS no you don’t need to boil it it doesn’t cloud the water and it’s a soybean protein (plant) so they love it. Cut into chunks,size depends on how many fish in the tank. Fresh it sinks instantly. Freeze the rest,frozen will float until thawed. Stays water stable for a couple days when it floats again remove it. I like firm or extra firm.

      @jeffkane4391 8 месяцев назад

      @TMAquatics L046, L104, L129, L134, L173, L173B, L397, L471, Not so mini Ranger Plecos,(Bristle Nose) Albino short and long fin, Blue Eye short and long fin, Calico long fin, Super Red short and long fin. And a few whip tails. I recently lost my group of L174s to what looked like bloat. They were the only fish affected in the tank. It's a little frustrating.

    Just a heads up, but Your Fish Stuff is not showing any pellets on their website. I am unsure if they are discontinuing the pellet food, and have reached out several times this past week with no response.

      Stay with the hobby if you enjoy it. If you are doing things the same, maybe water plant changed things?
