This is the first part of what I hope will be a 2 or 3 part series on this fish, L306. Today I give you an overview of care, and we set up the tank to encourage breeding. This made the fish hide, so there is not nearly as much fish footage as I would like. Make sure you are subscribed so you get the updates and additional footage in the coming weeks and months!

Very nice, Rachel. I keep the LDA 031 Panaquolus albimarginatus, the mustard spotted pleco. All that you saif about your stellifers is also true for my mustards. In my community tank with Heros cichlids and several other plecos they are not shy at all. They love zucchini and cucumber and even tomatoes (all grown in my garden and therefore guaranteed without any pesticides), but also manage to get a bloodworm now and then when the others are being fed. And a lot of wood and leaf litter, especially dry brown Rhododendron! which has substance to it and are very thick. I am hoping to breed them in late winter as then they should be old enough.
I really love that you break it down step by step, show the caves you use, the placements, the wood stacks, and explain why. Then you explain diet and temps. You hide nothing, hold nothing back, you genuinely want folks to be successful breeding fish. It's one of the many things that has kept me following you and your channel from way back. So good to see you up and about and excited about projects again.
love these guys! Long time I was thinking which plecos to get for breeding project. After this video I ordered six of these. Thank you Rachel! Wish you luck with the breeding.
I'm not really a pleco guy, but these ones remind me of the hard candy my grandparents used to give out every time we visited so I'm becoming very attached to them.
Looks beautiful Rachel ! Some very happy Plecos🤗 Loved the way you set up their cave’s around their wood. 😁 Fab , full of information, as always ! I’ve just started to get into pleco’s, they are amazing ! 😍
I once bought a nice peice of driftwood that was covered in moss so bought cause I was cheating so I didn't have to grow it, but in the tank the guy had some l400 an 66 babies an I told the kid who got the wood to make sure none of those lil guys were in the wood well I didnt go straight home it was about 3 hrs later an low an behold I had 3 hitchhikers who met their doom, I wasnt to happy.
$180 for one plus $40 for shipping on Aquabid. Get rich quick! I paid $7 for a tiny albino Ancistrus..and it was tiny. Striped and spotted Pleco are still rarefied air.
Fantastic. Love the L306. Now I know where I can source them in the near future 😉 My L397’s love Repashy Morning Wood. I mix 3-4 parts morning wood to one part soilent green. They devour it. Truth, panaqolus are much more active than all my hypans (and my L134 pekoltia), which is why my L397’s are probably my favorite L number in my fish room. 👍
Can you do a spotlight on celebes rainbows or threadfin rainbows? I've recently started keeping them and would like to spawn them, but can't find very many good in depth videos about them.
Rachael good that u are back to the fish room. Hope all is well with you. Should I put another male guppy in my tub outside. All I have is 2 females I lost the male😲
Can take a regular wisteria plant from the flower garden and put it in your fish tank like we do the pothos plant? Or can u submerge it or is this not possible..
At 2:23 if you're talking about Guyana, which is right above Brazil, it's pronounced Guy (as in dude, man) -ana (as in the name Anna). Rhymes with banana. I know cuz my family is from there, lol.
Hey Rachel!! Question :-) I know WHY the water is that color... MY QUESTION IS... Is that what is called black water!? Or brackish!? AND is brackish and black water the same?! Just 1 lighter and 1 darker... ALSO do you have ANY black water tanks? ALSO on a whole OTHER topic... I LOVE how your face has that perfect 'dewy' look.... Your cheekbones looked like they had a BEAUTIFUL highlight glow!! Ppl pay ALOT of money in make-up to achieve that look!! RADIENTLY BEAUTIFUL AS ALWAYS LOVE!!! Xo
Blackwater is tannin stained water, darker than this but yes from wood and leaves as well as other botanicals. Brackish water is water that has salt content but is not as concentrated as actual saltwater (sw and fw mix)
@@RachelOLeary ahhhh ok thanls so much for telling me.. I was all kinds of confused... So confused in fact my google assistant got all inside out too!! Lol I added more on that msg.. Plz DON'T miss it!! ;-) xo
Rachel, or anyone who would be kind enough to answer, what is the reasoning with the numerical naming of some Plecos? What do the different numbers indicate. Thanks!

Rachel just FYI it’s not Panark ... or Panack .... Panaque is pronounced Pana-Kay ...

Good to see you back working at your fishroom Rachel! Cool Pleco, I hope they spawn for you!
the lighting is working great for your shoots , no glare from other tanks, can actually see inside the tank. so good /////
Yes, I love your videos. They help alot. Thanks Rachel. Prayers for a speedy recovery for you and your family.
I got my first bristle nose plecos because of you. Not the first time I got a fish because of you. :) I love you for it I enjoy them so much.

Good afternoon, Rachel. It's gonna be a great video, I can feel it.
love these guys! Long time I was thinking which plecos to get for breeding project. After this video I ordered six of these. Thank you Rachel! Wish you luck with the breeding.
I'm not really a pleco guy, but these ones remind me of the hard candy my grandparents used to give out every time we visited so I'm becoming very attached to them.
Ribbon candy?
I can hardly wait to see the new babies! Take care of yourself 🌸
Great vid. Happy birthday and praying for a quick full recovery. God bless!!
Beautiful little pleco, love the petite size would love to have a pair when available.
Hey from houston you have inspired me to keep fish
Very cool!
I can't believe you looked at my comment
I read them all :)
Looks beautiful Rachel ! Some very happy Plecos🤗
Loved the way you set up their cave’s around their wood. 😁
Fab , full of information, as always !
I’ve just started to get into pleco’s, they are amazing ! 😍
Loving the updates!
i love your material Rachel, it's informative and well presented, i think you kind of are inspiring me to make my own channel. keep it it!

That is a very cool tank! Great video
I do need some more L numbers in my life!
Thanks for another great vid.🤙
One of the few I look forward to seeing, always informative. P.S. have started a Lampeye Killi tank should be ready for fish in soon.

I love your videos. You inspired me to have a couple of outdoor tubs. I just wish the midvideo commercials weren't in the middle of your sentence.

I made a video on that :) th-cam.com/video/RWdhbxjJ2HM/w-d-xo.html
Rachel O'leary -I’ve just watched the video thank the lord you explained it for me. Was so confused 😆
Love your videos. Could you do a spotlight on the rubber lip pleco I can't seem to find any good info on them?
Beautiful I would like to know how big they get and where do you get your driftwood from.
Almost forgot...Happy Birthday and have you ordered any wickedly marvelous fish for yourself yet?
Maybe! Stay tuned ;)
Off topic but i love your highlighter
Thanks!
Can you do a spotlight on celebes rainbows or threadfin rainbows? I've recently started keeping them and would like to spawn them, but can't find very many good in depth videos about them.
Bellos.
Rachael good that u are back to the fish room. Hope all is well with you. Should I put another male guppy in my tub outside. All I have is 2 females I lost the male😲
You can.
Just looked them up on Planetcatfish, they are indeed gorgeous :-)
Can take a regular wisteria plant from the flower garden and put it in your fish tank like we do the pothos plant? Or can u submerge it or is this not possible..
Changing so much water every week, how about moving the tank to an area with easier access
How's the algae doing in your big boys tank? is it starting to get some length? I' m so glad it decided to make a comeback :)
Moar repashy morning wood

Did you ever get these guys to breed?
Your highlight is blindingggg :) lol
Also was that peace river gravel?
Thanks and yep!
Would you happen to have any of these for sale?
Those are so beautiful. Is it an orange or more of a red?
Orange

Moondust by ciate london
Do you have fry for sale
hey rachel what are the chances of breeding blue phantoms? any tips to get a pair?
Rachel, or anyone who would be kind enough to answer, what is the reasoning with the numerical naming of some Plecos? What do the different numbers indicate. Thanks!
It's a sorting system before they are formally identified. L is for loricaridaii
I have a video on it called what's an L number anyway
@@RachelOLeary I will look for the video, appreciate you taking the time.
@@RachelOLeary watched it! Love your stuff, an endless source of good information.
