Breeding bristlenoses??


brishe

Recommended Posts

In our 120litre community tank i have a male and female adult bristlenose.

I would like to breed them but the male doesnt want anything to do with the female and attacks or chases her whenever he sees her.

Are they likely to breed eventually??? i have had him for 6months and her for about 4months.

He has got an ornament that he likes to hide in but it has got 2 big entrances and i have just learned that they like a one entrance cave.

Yesterday i brought a clay/ terracotta pot and will make an entrance for it, the pot has a hole in the bottom of this which when in the tank will be at the top, do i need to cover this or will it be ok as is.

do i need to worry about chemicals being used in the making of these pots or are they ok??

Sorry for all the questions but i would like to get it right. Thanks heaps in advance.

BNs either breed, or they don't. They can breed like mad for months, then stop for a few years, then start breeding again. Well, mine did anyway! :lol:

Try getting another female. He might like her more :wink:

Mine always bred in, or under, a log.

The hole will be fine.

The pots are fine in tanks too.
