Ira Posted April 28, 2011 Report Share Posted April 28, 2011 Hi I have a male and a female GBA they are sizable for breeding the male had a very red spot on his head I am guesing that is a sign for breeding No, it's just a red spot on his head, I believe. I have lots of hiding places for them the thing is I have not seen my male for 8 to 9 days does he stay with the eggs the female is out and about what do you think Joy :dunno: Yes, the female just dumps the eggs and leaves, the male guards and fans them. Google "Bristlenose breeding" for specifics. They breed just like all the other bristlenose strains. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshlikesfish Posted April 28, 2011 Report Share Posted April 28, 2011 They usually need some sort of cave to breed in. What sort of hiding spots have you got? The red spot is also just a red spot. I've had them on my GBA before Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joshlikesfish Posted April 29, 2011 Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 Do you have any caves for him to breed in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishgirl53 Posted April 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 There is rocks with gaps every where so I am sure he would have found a place somewhere or do you think I should get a piece of pipe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshlikesfish Posted April 29, 2011 Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 Your best chance is to get a cave suited for breeding. You can use pvc, bamboo, can make them out of slate/tile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
