    What to feed my Plecos who won't eat green things

    Hello all, I have one albino bristlenose pleco (4 in) and one (possibly) zebra pleco (3 in). 20-gallon tank. I didn't buy them so I'm not completely sure about the second one. They have grown quite a bit since I got them and their fins seem much healthier, but they are quite sluggish even though...

    Bristlenose Pleco Eggs Disappearing

    Hi everyone, Recently my bristlenose plecos started breeding (one male and three females). So far two times I have seen the male sitting against and fanning the eggs - around 15 or so. Each day the eggs become smaller in number and after 3-5 days they are gone without a trace. I have one...

    Upside Down Bristlenose Plec.

    One of my Bristlenose is lying upside down from time to time. It seemed to start after I put a black and white rock in the aquarium, however this maybe coincidence? I removed the rock during my latest water change last week. Generally he hangs around his man cave, and grazes on Bogwood. He...

    Lumps On Bristlenose Catfish

    Iā€™m not a big time fish keeper, so Iā€™m not the most educated beyond the basics, but I do love my fish and am worried about one of them. Can any experts tell me whatā€™s wrong with my Bristlenose? Heā€™s not acting any differently, he just suddenly has these lumps on his head. Iā€™ve already asked on a...

    Momo Makes Himself At Home

    I bought a new cave for my BNs yesterday (hoping my Marble is a girl and perhaps breeding might happen) but when I got it in the tank I realized how small it was and was disappointed thinking my big boof-head male BN Momo wouldn't fit in there. Ā  Was pleased to wake this morning to find I was...

    Internal Bleeding?

    My BN has a red patch on his/her belly and also red skin on half of his/her body. I heard this could be a sign of Internal bleeding, stress and if he/she is ready to breed. Please help! What should I do?

    I'll have to get my proper camera out and take some pictures of the fish and slightly changed layout (the rock is now vertical, with the moss attached with some plant netting), but here's some pics from my phone: [/URL] Ā  Sooo. I got bored and decided to set up another little planted aquarium...
