    Ok so after she( female pleco) deposits her orange eggs he ( the male pleco) takes over and cares for the eggs.

    Give the eggs five to six days to hatch. Give the larvae another five or six days to absorb their yolk sacs and emerge as small bristle-less versions of their parents.

    Once they start free-swimming, feed them microworms and/or newly hatched brine shrimp. As they grow, they seem to like green beans, zucchini, and algae wafers just fine.

    I kinda added some additional info on fry care... :)
