Aqua Posted March 19, 2007 Report Share Posted March 19, 2007 Hey guys - LONG time no visit! I've bought a trio of cons, and have offered most of my other fish for sale, but I'm wondering if bristlenoses would be left alone by the cons? My tank is only an AR-510 which from memory is about 80-odd litres? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HummingBird Posted March 19, 2007 Report Share Posted March 19, 2007 It should be ok as long as they aren't breeding. If the bristlenose has a hiding place or two (that only it can fit in) it should be ok in any case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David R Posted March 19, 2007 Report Share Posted March 19, 2007 If you've got three males or three females you might get away with it. If you've got a pair then one con and the bristlenose will probably get picked on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johannes Visser Posted March 19, 2007 Report Share Posted March 19, 2007 I have found them to be quite hardy, have them in with African Cichlids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David R Posted March 20, 2007 Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 I have found them to be quite hardy, have them in with African Cichlids. Correction, just plain hard. When it comes to standing up to other fish, or surviving in adverse conditions, inch for inch I think you'd be hard pressed to find a tougher fish.
