Video: Plecos & Gymno "Blue Neon"

[Tony]

Here's a video I shot a couple of weeks ago featuring my LDA33 Baryancictrus "snowball" and L134 Peckoltia "Leopard Frog" plecos munching down on some algae wafers.

Towards the end, I pan over to the group of 4 Gymnogeophagus sp. "Blue Neon" I picked up from Jeff Rapps last month.

They're all in a planted 20 now, but will be moved over to one of the 40Bs in the basement eventually.

Has anyone in the club bred L134s or know where I may be able to get another one locally?

Dude the L134 is awesome looking

Maybe Julie.... I know she had a few last time I was up there. Not sure if they are for sale or not though. No they have not been bred ... at least not for BAP. I think there was one guy a long time ago that did.... but it wasn't for BAP.

There is a guy up in NJ or NY.... that breeds them all the time.... I'd have to dig for his name. But, he charges what Julie charges for wilds at 1.25

Thanks Craig.

I don't know the guy... and he's a bit high priced but not too bad.... but at least they are adults... from NJ... so shipping shouldn't be bad.

Loan it to him. Seriously. It's Tony...

...and you're no less outstanding (wading) in your field (stream) as a hobbyist and human being. He does the work and gets the glory for spawning them, and you get half the fry and your female back at some point.

Nothing quite so sad/tragic as a solitary member of species with zero prospect for procreation. It's our duty to spawn these critters, specially the wild caught ones, neh?

That's my $2 worth. Those are healthy looking fish Antonio.

Alternately Tony could put his 134 up/out for 'stud'.

Mr. Minifoot does have himself a record of breeding unusual catfish.

Forgive my intrusive match-making, just my predilection for conceiving the as yet unconceived. Right...

i'd let mine go to tony if i got it back but i don't think thats what he is looking for....
