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?
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
If the fish store won't let you use a flashlight to sex fish...find another store. As long as you aren't doing it on every tank in the store, they shouldn't have a problem with it.
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
LFS = Local Fish Shop/Store
And you might be looking at regular (Trinidad) plecos, so he absolutely sure they are bristlesnoses. And Loha, since you sell fish, do you have a small school of cardinals for sale?
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..
Pleco,
You could be right. I never tried sexing juvies. I've used it on about 2" and up.
