I'm planning on jumping into that pretty soon, ATM I have an empty 20 long, and an empty 10 gallon, along with another two 10 gallons I'm about to free up. I plan on either getting bristlenose plecos or shelldwellers for the 20 long, but that just depends on what I find first, since I'm still buying another 20 long for whichever one I don't find first.
but as for the plecos, I have a general idea of their care and breeding, but I just had some questions.
-should I move the fry to a different tank to grow out? does it matter if I do or not? I know leaving them in the main tank would have some problems with the parameters.
-if I do end up moving fry to another tank, what size do I go with? can I raise fry in a 10 gallon or should I just get another 20 gallon for the fry? how often should I be cleaning these growouts, and how many fry can fit in either?
-how fast do bristlenose pleco fry grow?
-should I have substrate or not? I heard bristlenose pleco fry don't grow as well on bare bottoms (for some reason) but in my experience with breeding bare bottoms just make it easier to clean waste, then again I don't know if anything's different in that regard with plecos.
-what exactly do I feed fry? I know BN pleco fry need more protein, I'm just not sure how to get that to them, and I know they're probably not gonna eat baby brine shrimp.
also, anyone on here selling blue eye lemons or super reds?
