just makes me wonder what kind of water parameter requirement is necessary for breeding?

nice pics.
Did u managed to differentiate the male n the female???
Surprised that they can breed when they are almost 10inch.
I guess, we must all chiong for 13cm/ 5inch small L25 then hope that there are females. Probably it is still too young to determine the sex of the fish.

hmmm...i got the right size at 10 & 11in....but all male:(

got a question....regarding the 'cave'...let's just say i used pvc pipe...do we need to cover one end of the pipe or it can be a through pipe?

IMO, definitely one end has to be blocked. from the mag, u can see the PVC pipe is block at one end. :)

is it possible for breeding if there are other species of pseuda inside the tank? eg...breed L97 and having some smaller plecos inside like L24, L273 etc inside the same tank?

IMO, breeding requires that fair bit of luck. So i think it shouldnt poise much issue on the disturbance factor. SO what have you decided on?

already have a comm of 5 L25s, still trying to confirm the sex of one of the 11incher, hopefully a female.

now trying to set up another L97 comm, jut managed to clear some of the other plecos, now searching for a male.

also need to get the 'caves':D
