Billaney Posted February 28, 2006 Report Share Posted February 28, 2006 Not if you want to keep the young pure , GBA's and normal bristlenose can and will interbreed. Very much recomend keeping in seperate tanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faran Posted February 28, 2006 Report Share Posted February 28, 2006 Not an ideal situation. BNs are territorial and female BNs tend to mate with the dominant male. This would mean that your female GBA may end up leaving her eggs with the normal BN (or vice versa) and you'll end up with cross-breeds. Good luck with your breeding! I have some GBA wrigglers at present and I'm sooo proud! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Faran Posted February 28, 2006 Report Share Posted February 28, 2006 Thanks, Paul. I'm not counting on anything until I see them out, about and growing steadily. I had about a dozen half-grown BNs disappear from that tank in the past, so I'm not counting on anything these days! Funny posts above... we must have been replying at the same time :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
