2010年8月9日 · Took out the L397 and put it back into the tank. Took the cave out of the net saver and opened it to put any fry gently into a container and then to pour them into the new fry saver. Whoa there! There is a hairy male in the cave with the fry. The other L397 must have been a female in the cave with the male and the fry and getting ready to lay.

2023年11月24日 · L397 Pleco fry are simpler to feed than some other Pleco fry. As the fry consume their yolk sacs they should be provided blanched cucumber, wood, algae wafers, and veggie flake foods. It can be easier to manage feeding by moving fry to a breeder box attached to the larger nursery aquarium.

2022年11月15日 · On the bottom side of the log were a couple juvenile L397s who quickly scurried off into a big patch of java fern! No idea how many are actually in there. So . . . . . . . . excitement (and long story) over, I now have a question or two!

2014年2月17日 · There are no other fish in there, but a good population of Malaysian trumpet snails as CUC. They get a 30% water change and substrate clean weekly. A few weeks after I first put them in this tank together, one fry appeared. I had previously had a breeding pair of.

2014年9月9日 · I can really recommend chlorella powder for fry food. Supplemented with decapsulated Artemia eggs (eggs without shells). I just put some water in a tiny cup, add some chlorella + artemia eggs and mix it up with the end of a spoon. I then pour it into the rearing box and it covers the ground where the fry will eat it.

2010年8月9日 · In April 2008 I decided I just had to have some L plecos and the L397 were my first choice. I bought 6 4-5cm fry from Lealea which I estimate were 4 to 6mths old.
