Billaney Posted March 22, 2005 Report Share Posted March 22, 2005 Hi Everyone I was just sat watching my 700L tank feeling sick ( got the bug) and then i notices first 1 then 2 and a 3rd baby bristlenose, they are about 12-15mm long so i guess there not new born but first time ihave seen them feeling much better now :lol: the parents would be about 5-6cm long , so how many babies can i expect to be there?

Matt Posted March 22, 2005 Report Share Posted March 22, 2005 Congratulations Billaney . What filters are you running? I have had two spawnings in my community tank now and have found that a lot of them end up in my Aquaclear 150. I found 15 in there after the second spawning, just as I was about to go away for the weekend it was a mad panic to set up another tank to put them in but they all survived. I found another 10 or so in there over the next week and managed to catch a few as well, so I now have over 30 in a separate tank. Get well soon Cheers, Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HandS Posted May 14, 2005 Report Share Posted May 14, 2005 HI am new to this site but was reading about your babies, we (my husband and I) succefully breed bristlenose what we do is when the dady is on the eggs we take his castle out and put it and him into our grow out tank. When they are young we feed them on boiled zuchini and they go nuts on it. Hope your babies are doing well, Cheers Helen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
