Always happy to learn about the origin of animals and plants!

[@mymysticaqua2952]

Very nice planted tank. I like the different textures and of course the different colors. 👍🏼

[@justanopinionsincerelynoof3860]

I love your videos and always amazed by the comprehensive info! I got 2 lemon blue eyes today- thinking of breeding them with a regular black male bristlenose.

[@rexbrowning4709]

Awesome history lesson as always

[@icedemon1515]

What this video really showed was, I got a breeding male and female L144a as sub adults that will be arriving tomorrow from different lines. I have an SAE and was wondering how it would do during the male egg watching. This has shown me that even though they can annoy the male pleco it isn't overly aggressive back and is moreso defensive.

[@bennorman2493]

Really helped me out this one cheers pal 👍

[@elvinsworld11]

Nice

[@MakoyUnggoy]

That was an interesting watch!

[@gregorycollins3096]

Thanks so much.

[@randy7983]

Been waiting on a video about this for a while 🙌👍

[@BrodysBettas]

Really cool video!

[@kellylynch3775]

Very educational. Thank you. Mine's mucistic (spelled wrong) with blue eyes. He's a little baby now, about an inch and a half long. SOOOO CUTE

[@nataliawieczorek3210]

Ancestor from Lemon were not imported to USA but to Europe, that Lemon line we all know was made in Czech Republic 😉

[@garyvee6023]

Short and sweet..., 23 and a half minutes later..., ha..., still good vid.

[@kbozzie5951]

Super duper video! I was recently given about 30 mixed plecos, from 3/4" to 3ish inches. I see I have at least 1 green dragon and several albino. There are a couple I have not ID'd though.

[@veganportugese6936]

He looks so cute especially his eyes looks like a fake plastic doll😂😂

[@chandlee3968]

I bred a couple of super reds and the babies came out similar but when I crossed one of the spawn back with the mother they came out with a lot of black marks similar to calico. I guess that particular gen 2 I chose had some of the undesirable traits that came back out. Back to the drawing board I suppose.

[@vickygreenhalgh9283]

I have supered hes soooo CUTE

[@jaxntax5509]

I plan on trying to get longfin green dragons so this is helpful to me

[@Simply4Aquatics]

The green dragon is a hybrid of 3 Ancistrus and not line breed like most people believe. First the L338 and L156 where breed together that started the short fin greens and some come out a spotted and yellow ish in colour these come from the L156 side of the line and they got named lemon drops. It was also quite common that they would throughout albinos along the way. (I believe this is way you see some albinos that are quite spotted and others that are not because they were originally created from different ancistrus lines.) It has taken some time to breed the green dragons with out the spots coming throw them so strongly. Then the ancistrus cf. cirrhosus long fin was breed in to get the long fin green. It has been said that there was a green dragon line back in the 70’s in Germany that has now died out but there’s no Real evidence of their existence just story’s! The greens we see in the hobby today have been perfected by Greg Sage in the US with the original L338 and L156 cross breed hybrids coming from a friend of his who didn’t want to work with them.
