ZebraPleco.com • The complete Hypancistrus zebra resource

Im tryin to breed L-015 candy stripe pleco in a 25 gallon tank, i cant afford to have zebras dieing on me so im gona have a go with L-015s first. There a similar size (little bigger) and from the same river system so I thought theyed make a good fish to buid some experience on. Slight problem being im preaty sure their both femail and none of the locals have any more. Never mind, i can studdy them fighting eachother fornow...and fighting the nice peacfull bristlle nose which actually bothers to clean the glass...and bullying the silver sharks...ect.

Could somone help me to sex these please? Im also concerned by the colour of the one on the Left. Is this just normal colour change?

Does anyone else have these fish?

Thanks, Richard.

Hello.

I had a L15 for about a year or something. I gave it 3 weeks ago to a friend of mine.

I believe that the color is normal, specially if the fish is stressed.

My opinion is that you have 2 females. In pekoltia the males have well-pronunciated odontes in the back half of their body/tail.
