About a week and a half ago one of my male plecos selected a cave. So I've been spying on them ever since. Two ladies decided that he's the one for them.:hearts: He's been letting just the one female come in to his love shack. All I see is fluffy tails flipping all over the shack. Then she comes out. The second female has been trying to go in, but he hasn't been receptive to her. Until tonight......love shack, love shack baby.....:dance::dance:

He spends a lot of time in the cave. I sat down to watch them for 5 minutes tonight and just like that - first one female went in and then the second followed right behind. Lots of rolling around and flipping tails. He didn't let them out for a while, but it's still just practice!
Pic 1 = first female
Pic 2 = second female moves in
Pic 3, 4, 5, 6 - active love shack
Pic 7, 8, 9 - the other male finally realized there was something kinda cool going on in the tank. He stays in the back of the tank most of the time....but I think he may decide he likes the ladies too!

you need a smaller cave so it can trap in the female
That is a standard ancistrus spawning cave by rosenthal pottery. I've always used them. The pictures may make them look bigger than they really are. The plecos are quite small except for their huge fins and will continue to grow yet in the coming year.
