Ysterday one of my male bn plecs was acting very strange (shaking his booty), last night I went to feed them and turn the light off and I spot he is guarding eggs .
Very exciting stuff as I have had plecs for 2 years and have never had eggs, this male has only just matured but didn't expect him to breed as I have another dominant male in the tank. I think mum is my albino so fingers crossed I will have some albino and possibly long fin (dad is long fin ) babies very soon.
A couple of eggs seem to have fallen out as they were layed in a small crater in the bog wood (even though they have caves which they are meant to lay in). Fingers crossed some will hatch, am keeping a very close eye on them.
