Yes, it is possible for plecos to lay eggs in home aquariums, especially if the conditions are favorable. Many species of plecos, particularly the common bristlenose pleco, can breed in captivity if they have a suitable environment, including a breeding cave, clean water, and proper diet. The presence of baby plecos in your tank suggests that breeding may have occurred, which can happen even in home setups. If you continue to provide a good habitat, you may see more breeding success in the future.
