I am setting up a pleco tank 3'x20"x2. I have 4 peppermints catfish and I think they are mature enough to breed. The tank also will house 5 peruvian angelfish and cories. Also have bogwood etc.
What will be the best way to setup the tank to encourage breeding.
I use trickle filter for the tank with eheim 1025 pump (I think 1250 ltrs/hour)
Can anybody help. Akoh can you help.

Sure ikan ! no prob. !. First - you need to use 3" dia. x 6" length PVC tubing or bamboo for them to lay their eggs. Second - if it is for breeding pleco only, I reckon you should remove all the angelfishes and cories. Third - Powerhead is required to generate " water flow ". Fourth - maintian the temp. at 28 to 29 degree C. Fifth - you probably need more than 4 pcs ! think the pleco breeding ratio is 1 to 4 or 5 ( ie 1 female to 4 or 5 male !) []. and sixth - a bit of luck ! [] , Have fun ! cheer !
Safe Diving !
