bristlenose

I have a nano cube tank in my office and today after a week, I got back to work and found my Bristlenose pleco dried out on the carpet. I've had her for almost a year and she was always a happy/active pleco around the tank. The tank has a lid with a tiny hole for feeding the fish. Why do fish do...

Hey everyone, I'm trying to decide whether i should raise my longfin super red fry in a breeder box or in a tank how i normally do it. I was just wondering how everybody else does it? Look forward to your responses, Lucas

I was fortunate enough to pick up the pair of BN plecos that Frank entered I the auction this past week. I put them in a 40 breeder with a few grow out acaras, added several pleco caves that I had laying around the house, and low and behold, they have spawned already. The male is diligently...

I recently ordered six (got seven) small long-finned albino BN plecos -- all in an attempt to get a girlfriend for my mature long-finned boy. In the meantime, my fairly newly set up planted African tank was getting brown and green algae and making me crazy. So two of the new guys (less than 2"...

The last couple of days I have been unable to locate my Albino Bristlenose in one of my tanks. Last night I found out she had been hiding in a small cave underneath a rock pile. I couldn't believe my eyes when I picked up the rocks..... BABIES!!!! I was able to move most of them to a 10 gallon...
