He really is stunning. They are one of the nicest plecs IMO. You not tempted to get a female for him?

I have 4 juvenilles i'm growing out, looks like 2 will be female. Still too young to breed though

Sounds good. Sure you will get some lovely fry. I would love to have a go at breeding these but will have to stick to my brown and albino common BNs for now.

I'm currently breeding Common SF and LF, and albino SF....on the lookout for some albino LF. Waiting to growout is the peps and marbles
