![]() I was cleaning the filters on my freshwater planted tank and discovered 3 of these little guys in the sink. Thought I'd post a picture. I've put them in a breeding tank so my Angels wont get them. Hopefully I can get them to adulthood.

![]() It's actually quite lucrative to breed some of these strains. Some get VERY expensive and the payout can be big!

![]() Cool I haven't heard many who found baby Pleco's in their tank unless they were breeders.
And when I was a freshie I would of gladly paid for captive bred bristlenose better survival rate. Anyway good luck with them |

![]() I've raised at least 50 of them to adulthood. Keep them away from predators and they are quite hardy. I love my bristlenose plecos!
