jordan Posted August 25, 2006 Report Share Posted August 25, 2006 My bristlenoses have too! must be that time of year . Although I'm not sure whether I should move to eggs and Dad from the tank their in to another tank. Do yous think this is a good idea? I'm thinking Dad might abandon the eggs if I do.

Caryl Posted August 25, 2006 Report Share Posted August 25, 2006 I would leave them. The fry don't take to being moved very well either when still very small. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jordan Posted August 25, 2006 Report Share Posted August 25, 2006 I would leave them. The fry don't take to being moved very well either when still very small. But its in my community tank, the other fish will have a go at the eggs, wouldn't they? Anyway they havn't hatched yet so shouldn't they be less sensitive to water conditions changes if I shift them?

Caryl Posted August 25, 2006 Report Share Posted August 25, 2006 Depends how much room you have for several hundred bouncing baby bristlenoses :lol: The males are pretty good at guarding the eggs and the fry don't seem to get eaten as much as livebearer fry - possibly cos they are a bit bigger or not so tasty with spines. If you decide to move the eggs it is important to have a good steady flow of air going over them to replicate the dad fanning them constantly.

fishboi Posted August 25, 2006 Report Share Posted August 25, 2006 my breeding pair breeds in the community tank but never have any survive and the father always tries really hard and defending. then again this community tank is full of young convicts kribs and a fire eel :-?
