    man, your really trying to breed these guys with all those caves in there. tank looks good. you finally moved those BR's its been months you had those for sale.

    Lol, yup. I have 16 caves in there for 14 fish. So each have a place to retreat to if they so wish. It has been reported that only males will take to caves and defend it. But sometimes females will use the caves just to get away from possible aggression.

    Breeding is a high priority for me with these fish. I have been holding off on getting them for years now and felt it was time.

    The latest update:


    It appears construction on the belo monte dam has started. The construction companies have all the licenses in place. Which means xingu's "big bend" will dry out and the zebra pleco will be extinct in the wild. :(

    Only way these fish are going to live on is in our fish tanks.

                  I think L46 is relatively safe bc they are popular fish and many people have them.

                  I can only imagine all the others sp. known and unknown which will become extinct.

                    Well l46 is at risk to become extinct in the wild. It will still be available thanks to those hobbiest that are trying to breed them. But its at risk.

                              Will the assassin snails eat zebra pleco eggs?
