Could be if keep an eye out for eyes cause she will drop them in the substrate in my experience. I usually take a turkey baster suck them up and put them in a breeder box with sir stone or better yet a egg tumbler which are great and very cheap. Usually takes a week to see babies after this

Thank you for your help!! It is greatly appreciated. Abd is there any advice you could give me, im kinda new to this whole thing and dont really know what im doing

No problem, like I said just keep an eye out for the eggs, some people say they will drop them in one spot but in my experience they are usually all over. Once you get them the main thing is to keep aeration around eggs. Best way is air stone in a breeder net or box, or egg tumbler. If you use a breeder net lay some gravel on the bottom then the eggs so other fish don't bite them through the net. In about 5-10 days they will start hatching after they hatch I usually wait 24hrs then try feeding fry food which is basically a powder you can get it at most pet stores. I'm dealing with babies right now lol I have plecos that just hatched so I need to get fresh zucchini soon.

Haha good luck with the plecos!! And if i were to put them in a new tan, would i still have to filter the water or leave the tank with out a filter and only an air stone and a heater?

 

[Davesgt]

Only way I'd put them in another tank would be a small tank filled with water from the original tank. Changing the water chemistry would be hard on them. Once they hatch you could do that a few days after and be fine. If you decide to move them though a airstone and heater would be fine. Just make sure the air stone is moving water around them

 

[eric Johnson]

So do you think i should use a 10g or a 20g tank for the setup?

 

[Davesgt]

Smaller the better if your only going to use it for babies
