Bristlenose Pleco breeding, part II
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?

Sex them by using the orange blotch on the top of the head. It's easy to see on albinos, and can be seen using a flashlight on browns.

Yeah, well, the fish store probably wouldnt approve of shining a flashlight on their fishies.
They don't sell albinos there either.

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.

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?

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?
