A new member, but not a new fish keeper

Hi my name is Gerard, for many years I own Plecos, and I still have few, but since I need fish for my dense planted tank, this time I’m breeding Sturisoma ( not sure of the specie) , easy to breed, the problem is to rise the fry, I’m now to my third generation, so I guess I save few fry. At least the male and female are easy to recognize. Is this a Pleco, it’s the same family, the Loricariidae, but for me it’s not a real pleco. I try also to breed Farlowella, all true I have eggs, I was not able to rise the fry until now. I’m now in my last step to finish my fishroom ( actually a separate building) , the water is in, I need to install a water tank for hot water, after I will build the rack and use some tanks to collect more rare pleco. That’s it for now.

Welcome aboard, sounds like you'll have a nice fish house : ) Hope you post some pictures when it's completed.

Welcome aboard. Try a bare tank and a gentle current with your Surisoma species. Most prefer live brine shrimp as a first food. I raise the Lip Brooding Loricaria simillima.

It's really nice to be missed.
