Hey Boet. Nice to see the father of my peppermints. Mine are really looking good since I got them from you. Very happy with them!!! 😉
Great video man!! And the fry look so healthy and beautiful!! Love the speckling on them!
great channel justin very informative and good professional presentation i subscribed to your channel thanks again. i live in okeechobee Florida and see a lot of invasive fish in our canals and lake that were released when hurricane andrew came through miami 30 years ago your posts have helped me to understand a fish's behavior and what our future holds david
Awesome video Justin! The male looks absolutely stunning mate!. Great to see you have 19 healthy fry!. Thanks for the update! You look like you have your hands full with all the ram fry?
Thanks so much!! Yeah, there is always a lot of ram fry so it’s nice to get something different every now and then👍
Awesome video thank you, was wondering if you had any tips for getting the peppermints to spawn? Like how to trigger them. Thank you
well done. I've grown two lots of peps and they all turned out male. very frustrating
Love your peppermints. I don't have peppermints but I do have L183s. I'm hoping I have at least a male and a female in the 3 that I have. Time will tell as they are still growing on. :-)
Keep up the great work. :-)
Hi friend, this content is getting me more interested with plecos.. thank you for sharing.......
Lovely work dude, do you have any tips to help trigger spawning. I have done the good old cooler water changes and even put a pair of bristle-nose in the same tank because I’d heard that could help trigger spawning and they are breeding like rabbits but still no luck with the pepps. Any tips or tricks would be appreciated. 😊
Thanks Justin! I have always enjoyed taking a look at the peppermint bristlenose plecos that you have because around here in Toronto, I've not seen any. Would love to have some, but doesn't seem we have the availability. Do you know if this species has ever been developed with long fins?
That’s so interesting that you struggle to find them. They are very common in Aus. I don’t think there is a longfin variety but I’m sure someone is working on it. Thanks for the comment 🙂
Have you ever bred Pea puffers? If so, what's the best way to spawn these fish?
I’m actually looking into getting them in a couple months. They are apparently very easy to breed. There are heaps of online resources about how to raise the fry which I believe is the trickiest part
do peppermint plecos and bristlenose breed between each other??
do you think one is easier to breed than the other?
Great question! They actually can’t interbreed as they are two different types of plecos. However, I believe some types of plecos like vampire plecos can interbreed with closely related pleco species like the sultan plecos but don’t quote me on that
@@JustinsFishRoom and do you think peppermint is as easy to breed as bristlenose?
@@miguelcruz7673 No worries:) If you keep their water nice and clean then you'll breed them as easily as guppies do! Have an awesome day!
That is hypancistrus pleco species on your video title image. Totally different plecos bro. Peppermints are not even close to them in terms of everything 1 is carnivore 1 is herbivore etc
Thanks my first time breeding peppermint pelcos - happy to see they very similar to what baby I have now ! Try mad aquariums
