This is one of my long finned red eye gold bristlenose , i have a pair and she's getting pretty fat , i'm hoping with eggs , he's taken to the Bell i added to their tanks so fingers crossed !

beautiful fish Billaney

fingers crossed for you then Paul - but we do have that good old Wainui water working.

and the photo is great - but seeing these fish swim with their long fins is even more WOW

That is so cool.

I always wanted some longfinned BN.

now thats a stunning fish!

will have to pop round sometime so i can see her for myself (not to mention everything else you have) :lol:

Oh wow. She is very fine indeed!! Fingers crossed for billions of stunning babies!

I was wondering how they were doing!

Great piccy of course!

i got them from redwoods end of may this year they only had what i got plus 1 little runt

Yeah they're nice looking fish.. I would say good luck with the breeding but you don't really need it im sure you will breed them by the tank load before long Im sure you wont have any problems finding new homes for all the babies

Awesome looking fish. Goodluck with the breeding :lol:

That is an A1 beautiful fish.

Nice but you will be breeding it, most probably, with one of its siblings. not the best thing to do, but pretty much the only way to get them established in the country which is a bit of a bummer, starting with weak bloodlines....

i asked them to put a fin up if they were related and neither moved so maybe there strangers who just met in a bar ?

ahk that sorts things then, sweet score :lol:

Have they bred yet?

Have they breed yet?

Must have been a gay bar they met in.

Beautiful fish Billaney! We don't get bristlenoses here, in Cape Breton that is!

Update on this pair :

I was just doing my rounds and found them with a nice bunch of eggs !! :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

they had kicked out about 15 -20 eggs so i've removed them to a pot with meth blue and an air stone and left them with the rest . !! awesome !
