Bristlenose Spawning

Larry-T · 05-28-2005, 05:04 PM

I came home from the killifish convention today and did a quick check of my tanks and found that my Ancistrus dolichopterus (Bristlenose plecos) have spawned. This is nice because this is second-generation spawning of fish that I started raising from eggs about a year ago.

No, it's hardly my first spawning of plecos. What makes this spawning interesting is that I had their parents as my breeding pair for about five years. Over a year ago I decided to keep a few back as the breeders were "slowing down." So this pair are from fry I raised myself.
