Breeding LDA074 Blue medusa bristlenose

[Joshie]

I've recently picked these fish up and there is absolutely no information online about them.

I currently have a pair, I hope, and currently the male is fanning frantically under a piece of bogwood.

This morning the female was with him, so maybe they have done something but I doubt it, being I've had them for 2 days.

If anyone has some success stories with these plecos, please let me know. There is very little on them anywhere.

Hi Joshie,

There's a little info in the breeding reports, but you're right, not much.

First place I looked mate. Absolutely bugger all info about them anywhere. I can't get them to eat, well, I haven't seem them eat at least. I've been overfeeding wafers with shrimp in and a few other types. Courgette I leave in overnight. I think they probably are eating I'm just not seeing it.

I did see the female rasping on the wood so at least that one isn't stressed or anything. The male hasn't come from under the bogwood to my knowledge. But he has coloured up a treat. Dark as night.
