Can I breed any of my fish (White clouds, danios, pleco) without a seperate tank?

Question

And also how can you tell which fish are female and which are male? Especially with plecos? They are just speckled dark brown?

Answer 1

You can breed the White Clouds and danios in a community tank, but don't expect more than a very few eggs or babies to survive. You would need tons of fine leafed plants in the tank for them to spawn in. In both species the males are smaller and thinner than the females. The females will get quite plump with eggs when in breeding condition.

The plecos are very difficult to tell male from female and difficult to breed as well. Depending on the species you have it could take something of about 2,000 gallons to spawn them. I wouldn't plan on doing that unless you are very, very dedicated.

White Clouds and Danios probably. You need plenty of plants to provide hiding spaces. You can use spawning mops or fry grass. The problem is you will lose a lot of eggs and fry to hungry parents and other fish. I raised well over 100 a month for several years in the late 1990's and early 2000's for some local fish stores. I'd remove the parents to maximize the yield. Without this, only a few would survive, but that may be a good thing in some cases.
Seeing how big plecos are, I think I'd stay away from breeding them.
