Easiest Pleco's to Breed (excluding BN)

[cicrush13]

Hey there,

I have been breeding Longfin Bristlnose Plecos for about 2 years now and I am wanting to expand to a few other species.

I have spawned Columbian Zebra Plecos on multiple occasions as well.

I recently picked up 3 juvenile L201 (Orinoco Angel Pleco) and hoping to get them to spawn in the next several months.

In your experiences, what other plecos are easy to breed and care for?

I'd like to consider some other species down the road.

Just about any of the Hypancistrus and Peckoltia species are fairly easy to breed and breed the same way as BN (Cave spawners). The spawns are generally smaller and they grow much slower than BN so you need to spend a lot more time growing out the fry but it's not any more difficult than BN.

Tiger Plecos (L-002) don't seem to difficult to breed

I'd like to think to add Leopard Frog Plecos to the mix as well at some point. Way too cool of a fish not to breed.

L340s are fairly easy, and I find L400s easy, although some others have not had any success.
