              Breeding BNP. isn't to hard. Good live stock (male & female). A cave for them to breed in. Good water and good food. Let nature take over.

                Hahaha thanks guys, already feel welcomed

                I feed my bristlenose cucumbers, any other suggestions on what to feed them.
                I use to feed them zucchini but now i tend to avoid it as it stinks to high heavens when i take it out.

                      Welcome man glad to have you here. I used to breed ABN and a reg calico BN plecos, here is what i did with my setup. I used slate caves and ceramic round caves in a 20L aquarium with an AC70 filter and small 500gph powerhead. They bred like crazy, remember they breed after rainfall or slight temperature drop in their natural habitat so after a water change might be good to promote breeding. I only had them in the tank with no other tankmates. Also only did water changes 1 ever two weeks, plecos like dirty water.

                        I don't know about the plecos loving dirty water bit though. Mine hate it. They seem extremely active when the water is pristine.
