Ira Posted July 27, 2007 Report Share Posted July 27, 2007 You can have up to 1 billion female bristlenoses per male bristlenose, if your tank is big enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted July 27, 2007 Report Share Posted July 27, 2007 Perhaps you ought to give your female BN some other options as she just might want to spawn with a different male Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ryanjury Posted July 27, 2007 Report Share Posted July 27, 2007 I have a couple of female bristlenoses with my male and they all seem to breed with him as he always seems to have a batch of egg's.. As for the rams they are pair forming, so if your 2 aren't a pair already maybe add some more females but once a pair is formed they will beat up any other females so unless you have a big tank they may get injured..

BK Posted July 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2007 The female Ram has a growth just to one side of the front of the dorsal. I've treated this with allsorts and hasn't gone even taken her out and apply direct. It's like a pimple and raised about 2mm, I gave it a flick with a blade and it empty out and treated with Furan but still came back. Some one on here had a post about the same kind of things but between the eyes and it died. She still has the growth and seems 100% bossing the male around and it’s now been over a month since I treated so just going to see what happens. I'm not cutting into her.
