My Albino Bristle nose Pleco eggs hatched a couple of hours ago. I had picked the eggs out of my grow out/breeding tank after they were abandoned.

I put them in a fine fish net under the outfall from an AquaClear 50 HOB filter to keep the agitated it worked<G>

They are hard to photograph:

you can still see the egg-sack

I put one in a clear plastic cup to get this shot:

I'm assuming the parents are the ABNP I got from Storm last September.

It will be interesting as I have only raised Plecos from the juvenile stage 3/8 to 1/2" previously.

My Convict Cichlids, Guppies, and Mollies just appear in the tanks.
Although I have seen the Convicts getting very territorial and can see the eggs in the teracotta pots I keep in the tanks.
