SHARK Posted August 28, 2007 Report Share Posted August 28, 2007 Evening all. My pair of Bristlenoses have breed......7/8/07, im a happy man....lol, i have managed to catch about a dozen of them & have put them in a breeding net, tricky little buggers i tell ya. So was wondering how fast they grow. I have a 1500 x 600 x 600 tank, just under 600 liters. I have put them in with some Albino Corys i have also breed & they seem to be fine. Feeding twice daily with fine flake & shrimp pellets plus algae chips. Any idea on how long before setting them free into my main tank.

peanuts Posted August 28, 2007 Report Share Posted August 28, 2007 Where did you catch them from?? if the bristles breed in the main tank, then chances are that the few you caught are just that a few, the rest will be where you caught the few from. my bristles bred in the main tank and he fanned so hard he fanned the eggs into the open, so I put them in a breeding net and raised them myself - i am unable to count them but hazzard a guess at 100. can't advise on growth rate. but if you wanted to put them back in the main tank they will proabably survive, if there are plenty of hidy holes and no night predators. though in doing that in will mean that you probably won't see them for awhile.
