Have there been any reports of breeding these plecos, and if so are their any reliable breeding logs I can follow. I am looking to get a trio of each.

For the L134, check out this article on Planet Catfish by Janne Ekstrom:

All three have been bred and are not, I think, considered particularly difficult. You will find advise and picture of fry on PlanetCatfish.

I am thinking about setting up a rack style system with a trio in each tank. I wanted to do ply wood but can’t find any good DIY threads on making them. I plan to use 25gallon tanks 60x45x30 tanks.

Am I better getting 2-2 Ratio, or 1-2 Ratio?

Once I have this rack finished I want to add a second rack next to it containing...

L260, L066, L129

All of these tanks will flow into one sump. But I want to design the system so that I can shut off one tank when I want to try a breeding attempt on them.

1m to 2F is the generally recommended ratio i believe.

 

[Shadow~Fox]

I don’t mind spending the extra money, if I help out with the breeding.

I think it would be better to individually filter and heat the tanks. This is because I can work with the tanks easier.

finding sexed groups is the hardest part.

You'll be better buying a group of 6 young and growing them up. then selling the ones you "dont need"

 

[Shadow~Fox]

I would rather purchase adults, this way I don’t have to grow them out.

This is getting sooooo oooold Zeb. Can you not get yersen a paper round to keep occupied? I'm sure your parents would appreciate some help round the house, or you could take up voluntary work and put some of your energy to good rather than using your teenage angst for evil.

If you were mine, I'd ground you. No that's not true. I'd ban you from the PC.
