nicolajayne Posted December 12, 2015 Report Share Posted December 12, 2015 I currently have a male Rio Ucayali bristlenose and am struggling to find him a female. He is approx 1 year old so would like one around the same age.Willing to pay shipping if necessary or can travel to pick upThanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexyay Posted December 17, 2015 Report Share Posted December 17, 2015 If you're happy to wait, I can try to catch one of my girls? I can't confirm the sex, but some have no bristles at all - I've been wanting to sell them off, they're just a pain to catch I was never able to get a male to breed and ended up with 6 females out of 6, so have moved on to other species.

nicolajayne Posted December 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2015 That sounds fantastic - thank you! I actually think you might be the Alex that I got my male from last February? Just let me know if you manage to catch one (mine's a nightmare too) and how much and I can come pick it up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexyay Posted December 24, 2015 Report Share Posted December 24, 2015 It may have been me - I advertised it as a female but mine are being weird and maturing late/not showing any signs of breeding - so the ones I have are either very late to mature or are female I'll see whether I can catch her! No worries re payment - I'm kinda just happy to have them go to a good home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicolajayne Posted February 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2016 Hi Alex, just wondered if you'd had a chance to catch one of yours? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colour_genes Posted February 21, 2016 Report Share Posted February 21, 2016 I have an adult breeding pair of Rio Ucayali, but I was absolutely convinced I had 2 females for almost a year. Then, almost overnight it seemed like, one sprouted bristles and they started breeding. Much, much later development on mine than for the standard bristlenose male. They may be naturally late developers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexyay Posted February 22, 2016 Report Share Posted February 22, 2016 So, so sorry - I completely forgot and haven't been in a whole other city recently. Will definitely try to catch them soon - just don't know when I'm going to be back home and able to catch them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
