    Of all the videos I’ve watched on how to care for Bristle Nose pleco babies, this has been my favourite! Love your videos! Thank you for all your helpful advise. I now feel I have all the knowledge to hopefully raise a healthy bunch of unexpected Super Reds that are currently with dad in a large, open, fake log in my aquarium 🤷‍♀️ I’m so surprised, neither are very old, and he isn’t the best boyfriend from how I’ve seen him treat her, but he must be doing something right because he hasn’t even had to trap her! 😂

    This video is very helpful, thank you! Unfortunately I did a waterchange prior to the discovery, and the light was off, so I may have lost some. But not going to dwell on what I can’t change.
    Thank you again: they’re already eating the green beans, and they also seem to like when I break up the sera spirulina tabs. Not sure if they’re the best or not, but they eat them, lol.

    As you have mentioned in other videos, so many "algae wafers" have very little algae in them. I'm very fond of Omega one algae wafers. Also New Life Spectrum. For protein I feed the Pleco bug bites. AND GREEN BEANS!!!!

    This isnt more about fry plecos, But with plecos in genreal how often and how much should i feed them. The sizes of the plecos are 4 one inches and 1 to incher.
    If im not wrong i have to feed them each day, but how much.
    Mainly with wafers or foods like that, with the vegtables im all good.
    Great video

    • @MichaelsFishRoom

      Depends on the food you are feeding and the type of Plecos. Generally, in a well established tank, once a day is plenty.

Should I put them in a 20 liter aquarium? Should I better strengthen them? If possible, tell me some important points that I can increase the number of them. I will give them food, cucumber, pumpkin and Artemia.
