From http://www.planetcatfish.com/catelog/species.php?species_id=407

This species breeding has not been reported in the aquarium.
and from http://www.planetcatfish.com/catelog/species.php?species_id=40

Breeding Unreported.
I'd say if it is unreported on a site that is well known for pleco and other "catfish" keepers and breeders to share experiences on then most likely you will not find anything specific elsewhere on the topic. Would account for why the main way they make it into the hobby is by being transported from the wild...

However I did find this: http://www.planetcatfish.com/shanesworld/shanesworld.php?article_id=242

I would look through the profiles on planetcatfish for any clues. I think fast water and high oxygen content, maybe keys to triggering spawning.

Someone on Planetcatfish reported eggs from his bulldog plecos just recently. The tank was setup to be a hillstream loach tank, so high water turnover, etc.
