Your pleco is a Gibby, and difficult to breed in home aquaria (partly due to their 15" adult size). They require muddy banks to burrow into for breeding.

In Asia, they are bred in large outdoor ponds by the thousands. If you live in northern Australia where winter temperatures to not drop below 19°C, then it is possible that you could build a large pond to grow them out and breed them. By white pleco, do you mean albino plecos? They are actually more of a brownish color. I'm not your neighbor, you Bakersfield trash.
