Back to back spawns in the same breeding tank.
CHECK OUT THE UPDATED PICTURES BELOW.
I have too many females and not enough males right now, so I'm having to let them do multiple spawns in the same breeding tank. This male has only been allowed to breed 2 time and now he hasn't had a break in 3 weeks. I put a new female in with him 3 weeks ago and she spawned. Once their yoke sack was gone, I took her out and put another female in with him that also has never been allowed to breed yet. She laid eggs the next day and they started coming out of the cave today.
In this picture you can see fry from the first batch that are about 1/2" long and whiter looking. Also you can see the new batch that are small and more orange looking. They are more yolk sack than anything. You can also see some in the breeding tube getting ready to exit. Most of them are still under the male in the bottom of the tube.
A full view of the breeding tank.

These are albino bristlenose pleco's. They are in a 20 long tank. That is all I have ever used for breeding.

Here's some pictures after the breeding tube was removed and the male given a well deserved break back to the 75. I'm not sure how many are in this breeding tank. To many to try and count. I also have another spawn that just hatched out today in another breeding tank.
Without the wood.
Lights out and feeding time.

Hopefully sell most of them, otherwise I'll be giving them away before long. I'll be running out of tank room in a few months. LOL......
