L 144 Compatibility
« on: December 26, 2011, 12:37:49 AM »
Are there any other plecos that I can put into the same tank as L144 plecos that will get along, won't cross breed and won't eat the L144 fry?

If I can't put other plecos in with them what would be good?  And not eat my baby L144s?

On a related subject how would one setup a breeder tank for Gold Nuggets
I won a nice one at the fall auction.
Don't on if it is male or female I am sure he does
By the way how do you tell?

Not sure what an L144 is but I am going to Google it as soon as I'm done typing this reply. I'd try something Ancistrus. I've bred 2 types of Ancistrus with other Plecos in the tank, but the other Plecos did not breed. Keep the caves as far apart as you can.

Okay, Okay I should have Googled before I replied. I would have then known that L144 are Ancistrus,  :o duh? Try something of a Pleco species other than Ancistrus.

I don't believe L18 or L81 Gold Nuggets have been bred in captivity.

My 144's are with small commons no problems yet.  Any reason you want to put a bunch of different plecos together?

maybe bulldog plecos or rubber lip pleco same pleco they have a few common names out there but they'll get along with BN Plecos.
