I have eggs in the cave for for my ABN Pleco. What do I need to do now? It look like the male is fanning the eggs. How long does it take for them to hatch and what do I feed the babys? I have Eggs in my cave 690297

you do nothing ! Dad will take care of them . they will hatch in about 4 days and dad will keep them in the cave for about a week . Then they will come out and start cleaning your tank. I add raw zucchini to the tank and raw Romaine lettace . They love both ! Also plecocaine and flake food .
Enjoy !! Ray

Plecocaine is a Pleco food that comes in various size pellets . You can get it on Aqua Bid .
And the little buggers will get to be about an inch in 4 to 6 weeks .
Oh , and if you have Cichlids , goldfish , or other larger omnivores , they will eat the babies . Hopefully they are in a tank with small community fishes.

Thank you Mr. Lifeisgood. I have these guys in a tank of their own. I hope they keep going after the babys leave home.

How many females do you have in the tank ? the reason I ask is the female that spawned should now spawn every 20-28 days as long as the water stay clean and is changed regular . I have one male with 3 females and I NEVER see the male , but I get babies every week !
Have fun with them , and Congrats !
I get my Plecocaine from a guy goes by the name of Lohachata on AB. I get the size 2 and 3 .
Here is a link.
