I need more help.

I already have a female Bristlenose and theres a pet shop nearby that also sells Bristlenoses, except they are a little smaller than my female. Im thinking about getting two but what if I dont get lucky and end up with two males? Hmm.

The males also grow faster than the females, right?

Hey, the flashlight method doesn't work on juveniles.

Yeah, well, the fish store probably wouldnt approve of shining a flashlight on their fishies.

They don't sell albinos there either.

Pleco....the pair that i was going to sell you won't stop breeding...the male just released the fry from the cave about 4 days ago and they are already back in the cave spawning...
gonna have to drop a brick on em to get them to stop...lol

i agree fishnut.....when i went to see eric bodrock they had boxes of flashlights so you could look at the fish....terrible store lighting....awesome fish..

well ; this morning i went down to feed the fish....the plecos had spawned and there is a huge clutch of eggs in the cave...looks like 100+......going to have to have a fire sale on plecos.....actually i will most likely be trading them for other fish that are on my want list....

my dwarf royal farlowellas have been spawning like crazy...1 male and 4 females...
he will spawn with 1 and the other 3 wait in line for their turn..they are on spawn 3 now..number 4 is waiting...and number 1 is already starting to fill with eggs...
the red lizard whiptails have started to spawn..male ate the first 2 clutches..2 days now with the 3rd...
and the long fin bushynoses spawned again as well....i think i need to set up more tanks....lol

sure ; i'll give you some for free....but it will cost you $20 for the bag and water...
no....you cannot bring your own bag and water...
 
#12 ·
Why 20 dollars? Just wondering. And I think that I could do that.
 
#13 ·
Oh wait no. I can get two plecos for much less at my LFS.

LFS is local fish store, right?

Is it a certain store?

nope...no cardinals..i have some odessa barbs...and bushynose plecos..both albino and browns...
just kidding about the $20 pleco...at 2 inches i sell them for $5.00 each on aquabid..
