So what plants would go good with plecos? What type of gravel should I get? Since this is going to be my first time trying to breed them which species should I start with? I was think bushy/bristlenose. I checked my ph from my faucet and its at 7.6 and my high range ph is 7.4. I know I will need breeding caves but one website I read said don't add them until they are mature or it could be bad. Is that true? I have a piece of driftwood already in my aquarium. (right now I have a 29 gallon) Which ones can I keep in there until I can get a bigger gallon size in like 6 months? What type of food should I feed them? Someone said depending on which pleco Rapashy was a good food for them. What would be good tank mates for them? At first I just wanted them in a tank by themselves but everywhere I read said they would do better with other fish in the tank. Besides plants and caves and driftwood should I have any other decorations in my tank? I know if I get them young enough it might be a while before they are old enough to breed and that's fine with me. Also I have 2 sponge filters in my tank right now, some stuff I have read said the like currents. So I guess my question is that enough aeration/current or should I add more. I do not really like hang on back filters, I can get one but really don't want to if I don't have to.
I think I have enough questions for now. If anyone wants to send me a message instead of replying on here I would appreciate it. I will try to watch the thread but it would be easier to see a message than trying to figure out if anyone answered my questions. Any help would be appreciated.
