I find when breeding Plecos the Dad’s typically do a good job raising the fry. Not always, but most of the time. It makes it easier for you also. Congrats 🎉

I agree, leaving the eggs with the dads usually gives the best results. I've got my fingers crossed I have similar succes with my L397 group here in the UK.

They also have to learn how to be good parents. Sometimes it takes a few spawns, but their fry will actually know how to care for their offspring. Maybe you want a monopoly though haha 🤔

@@boddiesbuddy1380 My 8 397's are about 14 months in age.. I've had them now for 10 months... any advice on foods? I have many many wood options, they do semolina and algae tabs, come out for flakes, but I don't know if there is a best combination to make them 'ready.' Back when I did Bosmani Rainbow fish, simple frozen brine shrimp once a week and a water change 8 days later made them 'ready' but I've got no clue on these L397s. Bristlenoses were easy and often, so waiting to see but want to help them along so any words you might have are appreciated.

Wow, congratulations on a great week! Write it all down so you can look back not only for a repeat but also for a smile!

ADd to the tumblers some small catappa leaves. Boil them and let them cool discard the boiling water and ad the leaves to the tumbler. These leaves have amazing antifunga; properties, plus they make the water soft and slightly acidic, plus they promote aufwuchs growth great for otocinclus and plecoes.

Omg so exciting. Congrats. Maybe u could do a vid on what u feed all ur fish. Almost reaching a big milestone. Keep it up Nick, ur an inspiration.

Good video, with good content 👌 I'm a fan of plecos. You're right, the drop in temperature associated with the proximity of rain and storms helps to trigger spawns. It's like a simulation of the rainy season with a reduction in atmospheric pressure. Thanks for sharing 😄

I keep an app on my phone that watches the kili barometric pressure. Where I live 1014 is 'medium' and usually find it at 1020, but when a storm/rain comes thru it drops to 1008 and lower, making all my fish more active.

Congratz on the breedings! I have breed my Royal twiggs/whip tails multiple times. I leave the fry with the parents and have lots of anubias or Java Fern in the tank. For the fry to graze off of. I feed the tank new life spectrum grow and various types of algea wafers. The fry can't be moved around like plecos as they are quite fragile. I don't move them from the tank until they are atleast 5 cm. Good luck!

hey i just want you to know that breeding dumbos is much more harder since of his long fins that will be harder to wrap thats why they usually breed a halfmoon female cross a dumbo hmpk male betta and you will get the babys you want but u can try just a heads up and keep his tank very pristene because they are so prone to fin ripping and they are very prone to fungus but other wise they look good

I remember when my L397 first bred, eggs basically twice the size of peppermint eggs, but half as many. I also found it a little harder to feed L397s, they seem a lot more picky/finicky than pepps.

Are peppermint bristlenoses harder to breed than common bristlenose? Whats the differences between the kinds.

I heard in Australia the price is overly high. Here in China L201 L270 L397 fries are about 3-4$ each about 5-6cm. I breed about 26 species and I really really wished I was staying in Australia. Will make lots of profit there

More air flow will help with fungus

What do you feed your peppermints?

With your peppermint colonies what size tank do you have them in and in what ratio of males to females and how many do you have in a colony. I have peppermints myself but have only had 1 spawn from them awhile ago and thinking i may need to change something up. With your bredding tanks are they the standard 2 foot tanks or are the custom sized and are they custom lids or home made ones?

im watching your vedio more now bro im not a breeder but i want to do it for hobby and i did't understand the equipment your using what is the egg hatching jar and how do you change temprature by individually or full room temprature
