It took him about 2 1/2 years to figure out how to breed them. He now has four pair breeding regularly and at least 150 fish in all sizes. He sells the fry for about $75.00 each ($90.00 US LOL) but no shipping. The bad part is that you don't see that many during the day but feeding them is an awesome sight.

Unfortunately they will end up very soon on the endangered list. These beauties are from the Rio Xingu in the Amazon basin. The Brazilian government has decided to built a dam in the area where these fish live. Since these plecos depend on fast moving water, they will not be able to survive.
