Fish Folk Posted March 6, 2022 Share Posted March 6, 2022 (edited) I’ve been informally breeding Bristlenose / Bushynose Plecos (Ancistrus) for awhile. My son started out breeding drawing eggs from a pair in our African Cichlid tank… And I’ve since bred a bunch from these fry. Now, the first male was yellow / gold (albino?) but the female was brown. Their fry all appeared brown or slightly “mottled” but their fry split out to yellow and brown. Here’s a look at the first set of fry abs a new pull of eggs from a 33-gal Killifish colony… I’ll keep this thread going as Bristlenose grow.

They eventually colored ever so slightly from the Snow White appearance but never to a full lemon. @Fish Folk gorgeous! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fish Folk Posted April 11, 2022 Author Share Posted April 11, 2022 Moved these BNP fry out into the 33 gal tank today. More Bristlenose than Killis in there now! 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fish Folk Posted July 13, 2022 Author Share Posted July 13, 2022 (edited) My neighbor offered me any number of Zucchini he’s got booming in his garden… They’re HUGE! Easily 2x-3x the size I find in the normal grocery store. I took one today, cut a burger-sized disc out and fried it in olive oil, Mrs Dash, and ate with Ranch dressing. 😋 Then of course… Wait for it… BOOM!

Fish Folk Posted July 16, 2022 Author Share Posted July 16, 2022 (edited) One locally grown zucchini slice, and now this again??!! Guess he deserves an “atta-boy.” But i swear these fish are the Cane Toads of the Aquarium hobby 🐸 Here’s a better view… Edited July 16, 2022 by Fish Folk 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fish Folk Posted December 16, 2022 Author Share Posted December 16, 2022 (edited) @Guppysnail shipped me eggs, and I was able to hatch out these lively Long Finned Lemon Blue Eye BNPs. Last night I was “creeping” on my fish with a flashlight and camera. Here they are gorging on Zucchini slices… Edited December 16, 2022 by Fish Folk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
