Bristlenose plecos 100% for the lazy breeder

I recently found one living in my under gravel filter! Pulled off an uplift tube to clean it and it swam out from under the bottom plate. Far too big to get out on its own. Must have gone through the outlet while still small and grown up in there in the dark

Thanks i check it out

I'd make sure to do some real good gravel vac between treatments to make sure any worms are removed. I'd also look at a levamisole treatment if you found worms.

I'd be interested to see the results. Love playing with fish genetics and breeding, it's can be very interesting

Moved some boesemani to a spawning tank to pull some mops. Changed some water. That's it

Hi, glad to be here, from Sydney. I'm looking forward to being able to buy aquarium coop products in Aus some time soon! I'm breeding rainbows, bristlenose and Corys.

Aloha!

Welcome

Sounds great

Remember you need tanks to grow out fry if you plan on breeding different species.

With enough caves and cover it's possible but probably easier to do it in a separate tank.

Yep that's diatom algae. Just a tank getting seasoned.

The plants will love 1ppm ammonia. I wouldn't even think about it, no matter how high the ammonia goes.

Melafix works about as well as a water change.
