Yes, first with the 400s. Actually, my first with plecos. These little guys are the result of 2 or 3 spawns that took place in Oct and Nov. Still waiting for another.

Amazing! What is your tank setup like to spawn them?

OK gang, here is the L400 breeding tank. Nothing spectacular, actually, but so far I have had 3 spawns, the last being the 1st of Nov. It is a 20L tank with 2 heaters and 2 filters (Emp 280 and AC 30), temp about 82-84°. WC once weekly (40%), and I add prime, flourish and Kent's blackwater extract. And just let them go. I had 38 fry total from 3 spawns. Unfortunately, I lost 28 or so of them since with some sort of fungal problem that also claimed 2 of the 7 adults. Seems to be stabilized (fingers crossed !). So, here's the tank:
